Some of you already know,

I was working in Deck Shelves for a while and now I’ll take a break….

But just to use and test it a lot for some time before keep updating it.

My current goal is to make it approved on Decky store, so I’ll keep it stale until it occurs.

But… what is new on V2 Since 1.x.x versions?

* Shelves have new filters and sort options. Including random and manual sorting. With built-in preview to verify how it will be like in home
* New visual options such as highlight individual games, or show/hide game names, download status etc.
* Smart shelves with edit and smart filtering options like hour of a day or day of a week to appear etc
* Refresh random shelves
* More templates
* UI/UX enhancements
* Translations updated
* Enhanced ArtHero compatibility
* API for other plugins add their own shelves, import and filters sources or get shelves data from Deck Shelves

And much more.

You can see full notes from versions here: https://github.com/santojon/Deck-Shelves/blob/main/RELEASE_NOTES.md

If you’re interested in test or use it now, you can download and install it manually from here: https://github.com/santojon/Deck-Shelves/releases/tag/v2.0.0

Changelog

Changed

  • `[PERF]` Focus restoration MutationObserver scoped from `document.body` to `.deck-shelves-root` — fewer mutation callbacks during idle and user navigation
  • "Show background art" toggle is now hidden when "Hide recent games" is inactive (instead of disabled) — removes dead UI state
  • QAM action buttons regrouped: Add / Import / Export on the left; Import from TabMaster on the right
  • Shelf action button (⋯) right-aligned to match the TabMaster import button position
  • Card dimensions discovered from the native SteamOS shelf are now persisted to `localStorage` (`ds-cardsize`) per viewport/DPI, so cold boot reuses the last-session values instead of briefly rendering the hardcoded fallback before re-measuring — eliminates the initial card reflow. Cache is keyed by `innerWidth`/`innerHeight`/`devicePixelRatio` and re-measured whenever the viewport changes.
  • About page doc sections now render inside the native SteamOS `DialogBody` + `DialogControlsSection`, matching the container decky-loader itself uses for its own settings pages. This restores scrolling on every About subpage (Overview / How to / Shelves / Filters / Support) without a custom bounded-height wrapper.

Fixed

  • "Installed" filter no longer includes every UnifiDeck shortcut as installed — UnifiDeck marks all its shortcuts `installed: true` in the app overview; the filter now cross-references the `[Unifideck] Installed` collection (the same source TabMaster-based tabs use) for non-Steam apps, falling back to `size_on_disk` / local playtime when the collection is absent. Also extended the non-Steam detector to handle UnifiDeck's numeric `app_type` value.
