the last time i did serious UI work, material design was still in LOL

AMe too, strap in
AWe're using chakra UI which is very sus but also very respectable
©my artistic side only involves code behind the scenes 
No graphics, sound,etc
No graphics, sound,etc
ABut I think the UI has a respectable presentation right now and the overlay protocol is finished
AIt still needs controller support
AThen per game profiles
Dso wait, this is going to completely replace gamepadui? or is it an alternate theme?
AI'm not tied to the ui
ANo
AIt will add OEM controls to the steam gamepadui
AIt's out of scope for it to be a gamepadui
Di see
©Visual user interfaces (UX) are soo beyond my abilities... i lack the visual artisticismn 
ADecky can't be shipped with distros so it can't be the main way you control tdp etc
AIt broke yesterday and needed to be reinstalled for example
Dthat's the reason why i don't use it, i would prefer is valve supported a proper plugin system
Did be down to tackle on a gamepadui overhaul project
ATurns out injecting an overlay is very clean though
Dwell id need to finish this side project first though
AOn top of steam
ASurprisingly clean
Dplease message discord devs so they can do it on linux
ANo only one extra overlay fits
AIf you do multiple it will get sketchy real fast
AEssentially you can pull focus out of steam and into your overlay
ABut if multiple overlays become active at the same time gamescope glitches a bit
Doh wait a minute...
AWith one overlay and steam it's easy to do
Dis this why gamescope allocates two wayland sessions?
ANo
ASo there's a game session and an overlay session
Dnot gamescope sorry, whatever the chimeraos library is called
AYes but that's not the reason
AThe overlay session has steam and mangohud
AYou can add additional mangohuds no problem
AThen gamescope has overlay controls for the main overlay
AThat shift it in and out of background
AI can launch hhd UI in the overlay session
AAnd when the user triggers the button combo
ARaise it to the foreground and hide steam
AThen undo
Dah very cool
ABut I still need to keep an eye on steam because if it raises again
Di imagine it could be sensitive to a bad steam update
AGamescope starts interweaving which session it prints
AAnd it flashes
Dor not steam, but gamescope rather
AYeah but that's not up to valve
AValve can only update steam
Ddidn't gamescope get absorbed into valve org?
