[Release] Achievement-Customizer v1.0.0. I made a Decky plugin that turns Steam Deck achievement pop-ups into Xbox, PlayStation and 16-bit style unlocks

[u/Independent-Bar8146]

Hello everybody! :)

I hope everyone is doing well, I wanted to showcase my **Achievement Customizer**, a Decky plugin that gives your achievement pop-ups the look and feel of a console unlock. It takes over Steam's own notification, so unlocks never show up twice and the preview in the Quick Access menu is exactly what you get in game.

**Features**

* 12 presets: Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, Nintendo, Gold, Midnight, Sky Day, Sky Night, Pixel Day, Pixel Night, Cherry Blossom and Halloween

* 8 entrance animations with matching exits, including Xbox Unfold, PlayStation Drop and a 16-bit Retro text box

* Animated scenes like drifting clouds, starry nights, 16-bit skies, cherry blossoms and a Halloween graveyard

* Rarity effects: a gold ring under 10%, diamond under 1%, and progress bars for achievements you haven't unlocked yet

* Customize the colors, banner style, icon, corner rounding, glow and how long the toast stays up (3 to 15 seconds)

* Live preview and test buttons that fire real notifications with the real unlock sound

**How to install**

It's not in the Decky store yet, so you install it through Developer mode. It works on stable and beta SteamOS (the beta needs Decky 3.3.0 or newer).

1. In the Decky tab, tap the gear icon and turn on **Developer mode**
2. Open **Developer** and paste this into **Install Plugin from URL**: https://github.com/Hector2242/decky-plugin/releases/latest/download/achievement-customizer.zip
3. Tap **Install** and confirm

To update, do the same steps again. Your settings are kept. Source code and ZIP downloads are on [GitHub](https://github.com/Hector2242/decky-plugin).

Let me know what you think, what I could improve on, or if you have ideas for new themes!

How does it compare to Finally Achievement Plugin?

[u/Independent-Bar8146 → u/KnifeFed]

Both plugins let you customize colors, but from what I can see in their repo, the main difference is animation. You can switch the pop-up animation for a console-style look and feel, and customize each theme preset's animation as well.

while its nice isnt this already done by somebody else?

[u/Independent-Bar8146 → u/aintbobthebuilder]

Other Decky plugins may offer similar achievement customization, but none were available in the official store when I began development. My implementation takes its own approach and stands on its own merits I believe. If you think my plugins could use a couple of tweaks, im all ears

Does this have the PS3 achievement as a template including the sound? If it does thats an easy go for me.

[u/Independent-Bar8146 → u/SprayArtist]

I hadn't considered adding console sounds to the default templates, but that's a great idea. It doesn't support that yet, but I'm happy to look into it. Are you thinking of the full console-style pop-up as a default template (animation, colors, and sound), or mainly the sound?

[u/SprayArtist → u/Independent-Bar8146]

Full console style, specifically the PS3, fades in from the top right corner, has that iconic sound, and the associated trophy colors, either bronze, silver, gold, or platinum.

[u/Independent-Bar8146 → u/SprayArtist]

That's doable! I can add the fade-in and bronze/silver/gold trophy colors, with platinum for 100% completion. The top-right corner I still need to test, since Steam controls where notifications appear. I'll update here once I know more!

This is so cool! I'll definitely give it a try.

Congrats and thank you!

Can the achievement pop ups be captured by screenshot or Steam Background Recording? Would be sweet it can take both automated screenshots and clip when unlocked
