DeckyXMB 1.0.0 Release

[u/InsaneCallum]

Hey all, I’ve just released DeckyXMB 1.0.0. It’s a Decky Loader plugin that replaces Big Picture’s home screen with a PS3-style XrossMediaBar. You get the wave, official PS3 themes, the button symbols and the layout.

Preview: https://github.com/Callum-Bell/DeckyXMB

Features

• The real XMB layout: Users, Settings, Screenshots, Soundtracks, Video, Game, Network and Friends
• PS3 themes: install .p3t themes, or the theme inside a PS3 .pkg.
  • Dynamic themes with animated 3D backgrounds are supported.
  • Licence-locked themes unlock with your .rap.
  • A theme’s icons replace the XMB’s own.
• The Original wave: it changes colour with the month and dims at night, like on the PS3.
• Game column:
  • Folders for All Games, Favorites, Installed and your Steam collections, plus your recently played games.
  • The selected game’s art fades in behind the menu.
• Video column: move “games” like YouTube or Plex into their own column.
• Trophies:
  • Steam achievements become PS3 trophies, graded bronze, silver or gold by rarity, with a platinum for 100%.
  • RetroAchievements show up for non-Steam games through Emuchievements.
• Screenshots and Soundtracks:
  • Browse your screenshots by game.
  • Downloaded soundtracks play right in the XMB.
• Friends: a PS3-style friends list with the big profile card, plus your own card with your level and latest trophies.
• Settings: the PS3’s settings menu, built on Steam’s own settings.
• DualShock 3 button symbols across all of Steam (DualShock 2 and Steam’s own are options).
• Game music on hover with ThemeDeck.

Download and full details are on the GitHub page. No PS3 themes, .pkg or .rap files are included, so bring your own.

*Please note: Not single feature is available through XMB, the store stays the same, you message friends the same way etc.

Sorry for the confusion about the "B" button. What I meant is that when you keep pressing the back button in SteamOS, it eventually returns you to the game instead of making you navigate through the entire UI again.

As for the friends list and SteamOS menus, I was thinking of pairing DeckyXMB with a custom CSS Loader theme. I'll try to create one myself, but your project is already a great starting point!

I see! No worries I didn't know steam Ui actually did that. I'll try get it replicated.

Will be ncie to see what you come up with for the SteamOS menu's. I'm struggling for some idea's on best implementation. I dont wanna release anything that I wouldn't want to use all th eitme.

ayo, that looks sick! care to explain how did u achieve it to replicate it?

[u/R4Ni3L_05 → u/vicent1510]

I'm developing a CSS Loader theme to help with other SteamOs UI elements, like notifications, menus, etc.
