|
|
- Have Steam running
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Quick usage ⏱️ (Handy for troubleshooting!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Add `GlosSITarget.exe` as a non-Steam Game to Steam
|
|
|
2. Setup controller configuration for the newly added shortcut in Steam
|
|
|
3. Launch _GlosSITarget_ from Steam
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's it! 🎉
|
|
|
You can now launch any game/application just like you would without Steam.
|
|
|
Enjoy global SteamInput as well as a systemwide Steam overlay. 💻🎮
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Please note:**
|
|
|
The overlay only works with _borderless window_ mode, **not** _exclusive fullscreen_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this mode, the overlay also does not work with UWP (≙ Windows Store)
|
|
|
<sup>(When not manually enabled in GlosSI-overlay after launch)</sup>

### Comfy usage 🧸
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since launching one thing from Steam and then launching a game outside of Steam is tedious, and leaves you with only a single controller configuration, GlosSI provides a handy shortcut-management and config app
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's the basic gist to get you up and running using GlosSI
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Launch GlosSIConfig.exe
|
|
|
2. Click the ➕-button to add a new shortcut that GlosSI should manage
|
|
|
3. Select the type of app you want GlosSI to launch for you
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Select _UWP App_ for Windows-Store Apps
|
|
|
- Select _Win32 Program_ for "classic" programs and games
|
|
|
- Select _Add Manually_ in case you don't want GlosSI to launch anything or want to set up game launching at a later stage.
|
|
|
- **If** you have selected _Add Manually_ enter the desired name for the shortcut
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Click the _💾 Save_-button
|
|
|
2. Click the _➕ to Steam_-button
|
|
|
3. _Optional_ Repeat steps 2-5 if you want to add multiple shortcuts
|
|
|
4. **Restart Steam**
|
|
|
5. Setup controller configuration for the newly added shortcut in Steam
|
|
|
6. Search and launch your newly added shortcut from Steam
|
|
|
|
|
|
That's it! 🎉
|
|
|
GlosSI should now launch your game, draw the SteamOverlay on top of it (_borderless window_ and _UWP_ only) and provide controller input redirection. 💻🎮

## Configuration ⚙️
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Pre-Launch configuration (GlosSIConfig)
|
|
|
|
|
|
GlosSIConfig provides a fair share of configuration options to tweak features to your liking as well as aid in troubleshooting.
|
|
|
Most of the options have a `?`-button next to them that will provide a short description of what the option does.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You do not need to worry about the advanced options too much, though, as the sane defaults should work for most supported use-cases
|
|
|
|
|
|
### On-the-fly configuration (GlosSI overlay)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most, if not all, configuration options that are available in GlosSIConfig can also be changed on the fly using the GlosSI overlay.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To open/close the GlosSI overlay, open and close the SteamOverlay twice in rapid succession.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GlosSI overlay can also be navigated with controller-inputs

## Neat tips and tricks 😎
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Want to use Steam community controller configs for a game you bought on a different store than Steam?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rename the shortcut in Steam to the Steam-AppID of the game you want to access to community-configs.
|
|
|
Community configs may only be available **before** you launch the shortcut.
|
|
|
AppIDs can be retrieved from [SteamDB](https://steamdb.info/apps/) or [Steambase](https://steambase.io/apps)
