Jekyll2025-09-06T19:34:40+00:00zeusofthecrows.github.io/feed.xmlZeusOfTheCrows...it sure is an attempt at a websiteSDH Button Prompts2022-10-31T00:00:00+00:002022-10-31T00:00:00+00:00zeusofthecrows.github.io/2022/10/31/steam-decki made this quite a while ago now, but i clearly have absolutely no application, so i've only just got around to putting a page for it up on this site:

i made a mod for alternative button prompts on the steam deck

as you can tell, i prefer the nintendo layout, so i wanted to have the snes prompts on my deck; but i thought to avoid others having to make a similar mod i'd do some playstation ones at the same time

therefore, if you have a steam deck with Decky Loader installed, get yourself the CSS Loader plugin and enjoy the proper icons on your deck

with scanlines, bloom and frame blending, it's inspired by crt's rather than slavishly imitating: i've gone for aestheticity over authenticity - i don't know if i've ever seen any actual crt screens that look like this, but i just went for what i think looks best

made on 1440p, but also tested at 1080p

i'd advise viewing the previews at large size or maybe even fullscreen, else the scanlines get lost

i'll spin up a reshade page eventually, but for now download them here:

or on the sweetfx website

  1. i have ported kennykid's universal preset (which is what i use for almost all games: it just looks nice and vibrant, but without oversaturating) from sweetfx2 to reshade, but that's not my work. that said, you can download it here to save others the same effort ↩

i know it's not what git is designed for (it's mostly images), but it allows me to host the packed zip files in the releases tab. also, i wanted a mirror apart from nexus, as that requires an account to download mods, and i couldn't think of any other way

github repo here

therefore, feel free to use the rss feed without it being cluttered up with other tripe

i will be adding these [to the sidebar, I think?], so please give them some love if you get the chance.

What I'm looking for:

Necessaria:

  • Tracks View (I would have thought this was standard, but a surprising number of players don't have it)
  • Sync with phone (two way sync preferable)
  • Customisable hotkeys
  • Multiple artists/genres delimited by ;
  • Stop at end of track
  • file reorganisation (automatically move songs to music\artist\artist-track.mp3)

Optimala:

  • Customise layout (queue on right)
  • Now playing screen with queue
  • Auto-tag from internet
  • Dynamically generated playlist
  • Miniplayer
  • Tabbed interface with menubar below
  • Customise double click action (add to queue, rather than play immediately)

Players I have already tried

  • Rhythmbox
  • Clementine
  • Strawberry
  • DeaDBeeF
  • Lollypop
  • Quod Libet (this is the closest I have tried; and my favourite so far, but doesn't integrate with cinnamon's panel, among other things)
  • Others I can't remember, but will add later
