# GlosSI

GlosSI or [Glo]bal ([s]ystemwide) [S]team [I]nput, formerly knows as GloSC (Global Steam Controller), is a tool that allows one to use Steam-Input controller rebinding at a system-level alongside a system wide (borderless window) Steam overlay  
All complete with **per application bindings and working rumble emulation.**  
GlosSI can, but isn't required to, launch any of your favorite games or applications and directly add them to Steam, be it Win32 or Windows Store (UWP)!  
It is **the tool** to enjoy any game that has trouble with Steam and/or *add extra functionality* to your Steam-Input needs  

*Windows Store*, *Reshade / SweetFX*, *Origin*, *Uplay*, *Emulators* and *more* with **no hassle**™

GlosSI provides its [own overlay](./Overlay.md), in addition to that of Steam.

## How does it work? / What does it do?

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  
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

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.

## What this is not

- a replacement for Steams controller configuration tool.
- a Steam remote play / steam game streaming solution. (That being said, it **can** work, but is not guaranteed to.)
- Old versions (GloSC, Global [S]team[C]ontroller) where never designed to be used with anything other than said controller, GlosSI can be used with any controller.
