NonSteamLaunchers Integration with Steam (Desktop)
Desktop Version 🖥
-
Real Time Shortcuts: Well, ive cracked the code yall, Real time shortcuts for desktop mode. Meaning no more restarting steam in order to apply icons or artworks as far as im aware. I dont know of any program on linux that is doing that without the use of Decky Loader. Desktop Mode now has Full Real time Shortcuts. ICON INCLUDED.
-
Integration With Steam: SNEAK PEAK of what im about to release, just want to share a preview of the future of NSL. Desktop Mode will be integrated into Steam. Controller Support inside of desktop Mode is working great as well.
Decky Plugin Version 🔌
- Icons are now applied in real time: As above, since i figured out how to do it in desktop mode, as a result the plugin version now has the icons applied automatically. should look good. If you use the plugin on windows, should also be fixed as well.
