The wall waited about a second and a half for the game list on every start: Steam's own
manifests are quick, but the added games' folder walk and art lookups are not. The last list
is now kept in the app's files (LibraryCache) and shown before the first frame, and the fresh
one replaces it in a single update. The wall's order is fixed (last played, then game ID), so
the same games always land in the same capsules and the refresh moves nothing. The added-games
scan on every resume also leaves the main thread, which it stalled for most of a second.
Backing out of the loading screen, closing the ended screen and the session ending on its own
used the slide-down card exit. Now, while the session is on screen, the blue spreads out of
the throbber's ball (the middle of the screen once a game is up) until it covers the screen,
and the front end opens on it and draws it back into the button the session came from, as it
already did after the drawer's Stop. A retry, a session closing off screen and animations off
still close at once; a timeout closes it should the flood never run.
All string resources get a Spanish translation except brand names and strings that are only a
format. The app declares English and Spanish in a locale config, so it is offered in Android's
per-app language setting and follows the system language otherwise. Short rail labels keep
to the rail's width (Configuración, Actualizar).
It was drawn with the current selection, so leaving it for another rail item turned the
outgoing page into a copy of the new one for a few frames, which then faded out before the
real page rose in: a flash and a dip moving from Games to Steam.
Opened with a pad, the editor and its variable dialog put focus on their first control; as
windows of their own they otherwise gave the pad nothing to move from. On/off variables pick
from their two values in the same dropdown as other choices instead of a switch. App dialogs
keep the page's focus ring out of sight behind them. The footer's Add variable button only
appears once the settings are loaded: drawn disabled first, it came up without its box.
The settings row gets a one-line hint and the same secondary button as every other row. The
editor moves from a stock Material alert, with a paragraph of explanation and a column of text
buttons, into the app's dialog: a profile chip with its menu, the variables in a panel with
each one's value as a chip whose menu changes, removes or restores it, and a footer to add a
variable, reset the profile or finish. Editing a variable uses the same dialog, its name and
value as chips or the app's text fields, and the variable's note in the footer.
LB, RB or a tab now start focus at the top of the new page instead of wherever it was last
left on that page; closing a menu or reopening the drawer still returns to where it was. On
Settings the top option is Android apps when DroidDeck is the Home app.
The ring fills in as it pinches to a dot, crosses as one round dot on a timed ease with no
stretch, and opens into the control as it gets there instead of settling as a circle first.
