    That’s almost the entire reason I’m even using CSS Loader, holy shit

      I ended up dropping CSS loader because it was one of the most common things to break with beta updates, but I’ve really missed that look. So it’s super exciting to be getting it back.

        I just wanted to ask the other user about the compatibility breakage issue. It was breaking with every update of the Steam Beta and I had to rerun the installer for the plugins. I really like the plugin system, but this breakage is annoying.

      Same! Seems like we might need that CSS layer soon, although it’s nice for subtle changes like font, font color, and button colors.

    Damn that big art mode looks great, that single change is like 90% my reason to use decky.

    The whole reason why I use decky loader is css and audio. Closer to getting rid of it.
