Added
- Save and reuse filters. Build a filter combo inside a shelf's Filters tab, name it, and apply it to any other shelf later — saved filters live in their own collapsible section in the Quick Access Menu, where you can rename or delete them.
- Edit smart shelves. Smart shelves (Quick Play, Deck Picks, Daily Pick, etc.) can finally be customized. Override the built-in sort with any of the standard orders (alphabetical, playtime, release date, review score…), narrow the candidate pool with extra filters, and tweak the same visual options as regular shelves (highlight first, highlight all, hide badges, etc.).
- Pick your order for manual-sort shelves. When you set a shelf to manual order, a new dropdown lets you choose the base ordering for the games you haven't explicitly placed — so unplaced games can fall through in playtime, release date, or any other order you prefer, not just alphabetical.
- Drag shelves by title on the home screen. Hold a shelf title for about a third of a second with mouse or touch and drag it to a new position. D-pad navigation is untouched, smart shelves are excluded (their position is controlled by the "at bottom" toggle).
- Drag shelves in the QAM panel too. Hold-and-drag now works alongside the existing move-up / move-down buttons — use whichever is faster for you.
- Templates grouped by category. Both the normal and smart shelf pickers now organize templates into collapsible categories (By Status, By Time, By Compatibility, By Platform, Other) so finding the one you want is quicker.
- Highlight specific games. A shelf can feature any set of individual games, not just the first one or all of them. Toggle "Highlight specific games" in the Visual tab and check the ones you want — a live preview shows exactly how the shelf will render.
- Cloud saves and controller support filters. Two new filter types let you narrow shelves to games with Steam Cloud or partial/full controller support.
Changed
- Modal content no longer gets clipped on the sides. Dropdowns, toggles, and preview rows inside the edit modals now use the same horizontal rhythm as Decky's native fields — content lines up end-to-end instead of getting cut.
- Preview rows stay centered when you move cards. Clicking a chevron on a mini-card in the manual-sort row smoothly re-centers the shifted card, and toggling a card to featured in the highlight preview re-centers it when its neighbors reflow.
- Home shelves are faster. Shelves now skip unnecessary re-renders when unrelated settings change, so the home stays snappy when you toggle something in the QAM. Background safety-net timers run less often (4× fewer wake-ups on the home nav patch), saving a small but real bit of battery during idle viewing.
- Shelves no longer flicker with stale results. Rapidly changing a shelf's settings — switching sort back and forth, editing a filter — no longer lets a slow previous resolve overwrite a newer one. Only the latest result is rendered.
- Regular shelves and smart shelves share the same editing experience. Same tabs, same visual controls, same preview behavior — you only see what's relevant for each shelf type.
- Template picker + TabMaster import layouts. Cleaner 2-column grids; Steam-native entries in the TabMaster import now show a Steam logo so they're easy to spot.
- More sort options for every shelf type. Sort by alphabetical, last session, playtime, release date, size on disk, Metacritic, Steam review score, recently added, or random — no matter if the shelf is from a collection, a library tab, or a filter.
Fixed
- Menu button responds again after a Steam Deck restart (issue #25). The button now opens the game context menu reliably on every press, even on the first try after a cold boot. The simpler fallback menu (Play / Properties / View Details) appears when the full native menu isn't available in your SteamOS build; if you open a native Steam menu elsewhere, the real menu becomes available for subsequent presses automatically.
- No more visual tilt when scrolling DOWN past the last shelf when you have the home tabs hidden.
- Manual base sort actually takes effect on filter-based shelves — previously the base order silently fell back to alphabetical on those.
- Missing translations. All new text from this release is translated into every supported language (en-US, pt-BR, pt-PT, es-419, es-ES, de-DE, fr-FR, it-IT, ja-JP, ko-KR, nl-NL, pl-PL, ru-RU, tr-TR, uk-UA, zh-CN).
- A collapsed shelf stays collapsed when it loses the native-recents slot. If you had manually collapsed a shelf and then turned on "Hide recent games" (which promotes that shelf to be first on the home), the shelf would stay collapsed forever after — its remembered state was being overwritten. Now the shelf is forced open only while it holds the slot; your original collapsed/expanded choice is restored as soon as it moves down.
- The "first shelf" slot now promotes the first shelf that actually shows games. If your top shelf is a filter that sometimes resolves to zero games (e.g. "Games awaiting update"), the slot used to sit empty and the next populated shelf below stayed collapsed. The slot now re-targets automatically to whichever shelf is first on screen, re-expanding and locking it until another shelf takes its place.
