I have a 1280x800 resolution in desktop, and with Cogs and Cubemen, when i change (in their game settings) my resolution (it comes by default) to a lower, it goes to a black screen and comes with the same 1280x800, with the Steam overlay with this resolution too.

In Cogs appears that nothing changes, but in Cubemen the buttons are a little bigger how its resolution had changed, but the Steam Overlay have the same 1280x800.

Maybe related with this issue https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/677 : Other games that really change the resolution, have some problems with Steam Overlay.

I could test both games versions downloadable without DRM, and both don't really change their resolution like do with Steam. No Steam related.
