=== Steam integration & artwork
|
||||
|
||||
DZGUI can be added to Steam as a "non-Steam game" in order to facilitate integration with Steam Deck or desktop environments.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Launch Steam in the "Large" view.
|
||||
|
||||
[NOTE]
|
||||
Steam Deck: you must switch to "Desktop Mode" and launch Steam from the desktop.
|
||||
|
||||
[start=2]
|
||||
2. Select **Add a Game** > **Add a Non-Steam Game** from the lower left-hand corner.

3. Navigate to `$HOME/.local/share/applications/` and select `dzgui.desktop`
|
||||
4. Select **Add Selected Programs**.
|
||||
|
||||
The application also ships with Steam cover artwork. It is located under:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$HOME/.local/share/dzgui
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The artwork consists of four parts:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Grid: a vertical "box art" grid used on library pages
|
||||
2. Hero: a large horizontal banner used on the app's details page
|
||||
3. Logo: a transparent icon used to remove Steam's default app text
|
||||
4. dzgui: used by freedesktop shortcut to generate a desktop icon; not intended for the user
|
||||
|
||||
Updating the artwork:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Navigate to the app's details page and right-click the blank image header at the top.

=== Updating the app

If DZGUI detects a new upstream version, it will prompt you to download it automatically. It backs up the original version before fetching the new one, then updates your config file with your existing values. Once finished, it will ask you to relaunch the app.
