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
.desktopfile 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
