• CSS Loader now can create it's own api server, compatible with decky's api
  • Activate this feature by creating a file called SERVER in the themes folder (or running standalone)
• Standalone backend!
  • Standalone backend is currently only built for windows as linux can run decky
• Tab operations are now done in parralel for massive speedup during the injection routine

• Rewritten tab finder and injector code.
  • This not only fixes the language issue, but also makes toggling themes much faster and more efficient.
• Theme settings on the Quick Access Menu are now behind a collapsible menu, this makes the QAM much smaller vertically.
• "Hidden" Themes
  • There is now a "Your Themes" modal, where you can choose to unpin/hide themes from the Quick Access Menu.
  • This removes them from the QAM to clear up space, but they are still accessible from the "Your Themes" popup.
  • By default, all existing and newly installed themes will be shown on the QAM, it is an opt-in to hide them.
• Presets
  • From the "Your Themes" menu, you can now export your current theme configs as a "Preset Theme"
  • Preset themes look like normal themes, however when activated, activate multiple other themes and configure them.
  • This allows you to have complex multi-theme configs that you can easily switch between.
• Misc

  • CSS variable can now be provided with or without the "--" prefix and work correctly.

v1.3.2 - Huge Stability Boost

CSSLoader v1.3.2

With this update, we have cleaned up (nearly) all of the issues raised by the recent SteamOS and decky changes, as well as retaining compatibility with both Stable and Beta branches of SteamOS. Additionally, the "Manage Themes" page now properly loads on Stable branch, instead of loading infinitely.

Hopefully this means a much smoother experience for all users.
