make a .desktop file, add these lines to it and then point this command to said desktop file

Kyle Gospo•10mo ago

antheasOP•10mo ago

this is the point i reached 0 icons

antheasOP•10mo ago

this is the only result on google, good stuff

Look into steam rom manager, it can inject roms + custom art into steam.

antheasOP•10mo ago

does waydroid look properly on bazzite? im looking at rom manager seems to use a different way

Aru•10mo ago

I manually add waydroid to steam, and manually add artwork afterwards

antheasOP•10mo ago

should be done automatically @Kyle Gospo no?

Aru•10mo ago

🤔 not automatic for me then

Kyle Gospo•10mo ago

add-to-steam is a valve script and is supposed to do it if they broke it, it just means it'll work later sadly

antheasOP•10mo ago

i read the script it just calls steam with a special URI

Kyle Gospo•10mo ago

yeah, and if you check valve 's own nested .desktop file that's where those lines come from

antheasOP•10mo ago

any special requirement for the images? maybe the sizing isnt right you did a 1-1 on waydroid?

Kyle Gospo•10mo ago

the example waydroid ones are 1:1 with valve's nested pics

antheasOP•10mo ago

should have copied those instead lmao i used valve's guidelines how is Valves nested shortcut added?

Kyle Gospo•10mo ago

They use the same add-to-steam func it's part of steamdeck-kde-presets

antheasOP•10mo ago

no mention of add-to-steam for steamos nested desktop in that repo

antheasOP•10mo ago

is it added by default? neither on bazzite repo

Kyle Gospo•10mo ago

yes, hold on may have the package wrong

along with the desktop file w/ extra params for steam art

antheasOP•10mo ago

yeah but the command that adds it is not there the script to add it and the desktop shortcuts and the images are there but not the command that adds it or how it bootstraps it

Kyle Gospo•10mo ago

oh, that I doin't have we just used yafti no idea how they're executing it on first-boot

antheasOP•10mo ago

and your yafti config is where, im going to look at it

Kyle Gospo•10mo ago

we don't do it there anymore either at this time it's up to the end user did that because of various issues w/ dbus in nested desktop easier to not advertise and let advanced users play

antheasOP•10mo ago

hmmmm gonna retry later after one of you verifies that its possible because steam loads no icons for me when I add the desktop shortcut
