GlosSI creates and adds a (or multiple) non-Steam shortcuts to Steam. When one of those is launched, a transparent, borderless window appears in which you can use the Steam-overlay. You also get access to touch- and radial-menus and other functionality normally only present in Games
In addition to that, Gamecontroller-inputs are redirected to the whole operating system, so that they will work with any game or application
In addition to that, Gamecontroller-inputs are redirected to the whole operating system, so that they will work with any game or application
Real Gamecontrollers are hidden from other applications, so that they can't interfere with your game.
This brings full Steam-Input functionality to the desktop and any other application Steam-Input might not have worked before

**Cleaning up misconceptions**
GlosSI doesn't hook into any of your games, launched programs or any system-component, except into Steam itself to keep the controller from switching to the desktop-config (if not disabled)
Games do not need to be launched using GlosSI.
If the "Start Application" option does not work, launch any GlosSI-Shortcut from Steam, followed by a game or application.

## FAQ / Troubleshooting
* **Q: The overlay isn't showing up!**
A: The overlay only works for windowed or borderless windowed mode applications.
This is even true for UWP-Games! While it's true that UWP doesn't run exclusive fullscreen, some Windows bullshit prevents unsigned apps from drawing over them.
Try running your games in borderless window mode
A: Enable Xbox360 controller rebinding in Steam! It's in the "Controller" section in the Steam Settings.
* **Q: GlosSI overlay causes the screen to be black**
A: If running on a Laptop with NVidia-GPU, open up NVidia control panel (right click your Desktop and select it). Manage the 3D-settings and have it auto select your graphics processor.
Alternatively there is the option to run GlosSI in windowed mode.
Simply open the GlosSI overlay by toggling Steams overlay twice; You cna change it from there.
This will, unfortunately, also somewhat prevent you from using touch- and radial-menus.
Instructions for AMD GPUs should be similar, in case any issues occur.

**GlosSI consists of:**
- The "GlosSITarget" which does most of the magic - Showing the overlay to the user as well as talking to the ViGEm-driver for system wide Controller emulation
- A config application ("GlosSIConfig") handling shortcut ("GlosSITarget") creation and their addition to Steam.
