 Widget configuration
 --------------------
 
-The following types of widgets (defined in
-:file:`hack/lua/plugins/dwarfmonitor.lua`) can be displayed on the main fortress
-mode screen:
+The following widgets are registered for display on the main fortress mode
+screen with the `overlay` framework:
 
-``misery``
-    Show overall happiness levels of all dwarves.
-``date``
+``dwarfmonitor.cursor``
+    Show the current keyboard and mouse cursor positions.
+``dwarfmonitor.date``
     Show the in-game date.
-``weather``
+``dwarfmonitor.misery``
+    Show overall happiness levels of all dwarves.
+``dwarfmonitor.weather``
     Show current weather (e.g. rain/snow).
-``cursor``
-    Show the current mouse cursor position.
-
-The file :file:`dfhack-config/dwarfmonitor.json` can be edited to control the
-positions and settings of all widgets. This file should contain a JSON object
-with the key ``widgets`` containing an array of objects:
-
-.. code-block:: lua
-
-    {
-        "widgets": [
-            {
-                "type": "widget type (weather, misery, etc.)",
-                "x": X coordinate,
-                "y": Y coordinate
-                <...additional options...>
-            }
-        ]
-    }
-
-X and Y coordinates begin at zero (in the upper left corner of the screen).
-Negative coordinates will be treated as distances from the lower right corner,
-beginning at 1 - e.g. an x coordinate of 0 is the leftmost column, while an x
-coordinate of -1 is the rightmost column.
-
-By default, the x and y coordinates given correspond to the leftmost tile of
-the widget. Including an ``anchor`` option set to ``right`` will cause the
-rightmost tile of the widget to be located at this position instead.
-
-Some widgets support additional options:
-
-* ``date`` widget:
-
-  * ``format``: specifies the format of the date. The following characters
-    are replaced (all others, such as punctuation, are not modified)
 
-    * ``Y`` or ``y``: The current year
-    * ``M``: The current month, zero-padded if necessary
-    * ``m``: The current month, *not* zero-padded
-    * ``D``: The current day, zero-padded if necessary
-    * ``d``: The current day, *not* zero-padded
+They can be enabled or disable via the `overlay` command.
 
-    The default date format is ``Y-M-D``, per the ISO8601_ standard.
+The :file:`dfhack-config/dwarfmonitor.json` file can be edited to specify the
+format for the ``dwarfmonitor.date`` widget:
 
-    .. _ISO8601: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
+* ``Y`` or ``y``: The current year
+* ``M``: The current month, zero-padded if necessary
+* ``m``: The current month, *not* zero-padded
+* ``D``: The current day, zero-padded if necessary
+* ``d``: The current day, *not* zero-padded
 
-* ``cursor`` widget:
+The default date format is ``Y-M-D``, per the ISO8601_ standard.
 
-  * ``format``: Specifies the format. ``X``, ``x``, ``Y``, and ``y`` are
-    replaced with the corresponding cursor coordinates, while all other
-    characters are unmodified.
-  * ``show_invalid``: If set to ``true``, the mouse coordinates will both be
-    displayed as ``-1`` when the cursor is outside of the DF window; otherwise,
-    nothing will be displayed.
