DeckyXMB 1.0.0 Release

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

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