Suggestion: Add Icon Art

[DanielLester83]

Steam has recently increased the size limits see: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/assets

I think the procedure would be:

create the images with the same base name and copy the images here: /home/deck/.steam/steam/userdata/ User ID /config/grid/

modify /home/deck/.steam/steam/userdata/ User ID /config/shortcuts.vdf to add the icon path see: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Add_Non-Steam_Game

interesting idea. what is your thought: how could the script get the Steam-UserID? How can one set all the different form of icons for game-mode (if i remember it right there are 4)?

To get the userid(s) on the steam deck run ls -d /home/deck/.steam/userdata/*/ | xargs -n 1 basename. There's probably going to be only 1 userid and I doubt there would be any harm in just copying the images to every folder such as cp * home/deck/.steam/steam/userdata/*/config/grid/

You get or set the appid by either reading or modifying shorcuts.vdf see: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Steam_Library_Shortcuts

make a 512px x 512px bitmap file named -icon.ico make a 600px x 900px png Library Capsule named p.png make a 3840px x 1240px png Library Hero named _hero.png make a 1280px x 720px png Library Logo named _logo.png make a 920px x 430px png Library Header named .png

have the script copy these images to home/deck/.steam/steam/userdata/ /config/grid/`

thank you! great and compact info. how would you change then lines 392/395 in the installer with (nice looking) art?

Unfortunately, it's too complicated for me to make a simple bash script change, because shortcuts.vdf contains unsigned 32 bit number values as well as some as unicode? text . A better progrmmer tham me would be best to use one of the programs listed here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/KeyValues

The install files could be named anything like waydroid_header.png and the script should rename them later.

Haven't checked but if its too complicated I think easiest will be to bundle icon art, copy it to ~/Android_Waydroid and add instructions to use those icon art to customize the launcher.

this is too complicated for me. feel free to do a PR instead.
