LegacyLauncher v3.5.0

In-Game Photography & Gallery (New!)

• F2 Screenshots: Capture your favorite moments with a single keypress. Works both in the launcher and globally while the game is running.
• Built-in Gallery: A new, elegant modal to browse your screenshots. View them in full resolution or delete unwanted captures without leaving the launcher.
• Easy Access: Added a "SCREENSHOTS" button in Options to jump directly to the gallery or the raw folder.

Steam Deck & Controller Optimization (#171, #167)

• Steam Deck UI Mode: A dedicated mode with larger text and optimized layouts, perfect for handheld gaming.
• Controller Layout Presets: Switch between Xbox Style (A=Confirm) and Nintendo Style (B=Confirm) layouts to match your preference.
• Visual Button Prompts: Integrated high-quality controller button icons into the UI for a more console-native feel.
• Big Picture Accuracy: Refined the UI to better match the Steam Big Picture and Legacy Console Edition aesthetics.

UI/UX Overhaul & Polish (#135, #182)

• Minecraft-Style Volume Slider: Replaced the generic slider with a custom Minecraft-style bar featuring a real-time percentage display.
• Auditory Feedback: Every button interaction now uses the classic Minecraft click sound effect, available for both controller and mouse users.
• Aesthetic Refinement: Added subtle gradients, recessed input fields, and improved hover glows to give the UI a more tactile, "blocky" feel.
• Linux Contrast Fix: Resolved visibility issues where dropdown options were unreadable on certain Linux system themes.

Linux Integration & Power User Features (#179)

• Enhanced Desktop Entry: The launcher now generates a high-quality .desktop file with a proper icon, categories, and name for seamless system integration.
• Proton-GE Detection: Improved the compatibility scan to better detect and categorize Proton-GE and custom Wine builds.
• AppData Storage: Screenshots and configuration are now stored in standard system locations, ensuring reliability across different installation methods.

Launcher Management

• Repository Presets: Easily switch between different repository sources (like smartcmd or cath0degaytube) using new built-in presets.

Dear Devs,I love the new Launcher sadly my old Mac is still stuck on Catalina so it doesn't work but great work so far ,iv'e seen many things about it and tried it out on windows 11 .For some reason after a while it crashes. But still im excited to see that this has been Possible and reminds me when i used to play Minecraft on my old Ps3. Thanks this really brings me back.

Hey, I downloaded this just last night and it worked fine, but when I got back on today to play more it didn't start up thanks to some "iggy_w64" file being missing or something, and when I deleted everything to see if I could possibly get it fixed, it keeps saying "Executable not found at: Legacy Minecraft". Same thing happens when I try and update the nightly version. I have no idea what could be causing this.
