<h1> GlosSI - Global (systemwide) Steam Input</h1>
</div>
# ATTENTION: GloSC is currently being rewritten, and renamed to GlosSI ([Glo]bal ([s]ystemwide) [S]team [I]nput)
GlosSI formerly knows as GloSC (Global Steam Controller), is a tool that allows one to use Steam-Input controller rebinding at a system-level alongside a system wide (borderless window) Steam overlay
No ETA when it's done
No support until then.
The primary use case of GlosSI is to use SteamInput (required for SteamController / SteamDeck-buttons) with incompatible Games such as Windows-Store titles or Emulators.
**Looking for contributors!**
As the past has shown, I have way to less time on hand too maintain such a project.
Reach out via Discord/E-Mail (But get to the point right away, please, I get way too much spam)

# GlosSI
GlosSI or [Glo]bal ([s]ystemwide) [S]team [I]nput, formerly knows as GloSC (Global Steam Controller), is a tool that allows one to use Steam-Input controller rebinding at a system-level alongside a system wide (borderless window) Steam overlay
All complete with **per application bindings and working rumble emulation.**
GlosSI can, but isn't required to, launch any of your favorite games or applications and directly add them to Steam, be it Win32 or Windows Store (UWP)!
It is **the tool** to enjoy any game that has trouble with Steam and/or *add extra functionality* to your Steam-Input needs
*Windows Store*, *Reshade / SweetFX*, *Origin*, *Uplay*, *Emulators* and *more* with **no hassle**™

## How does it work? / What does it do?
GlosSI creates and adds a (or multiple) non-Steam shortcuts to Steam. When one of those is launched, a transparent, borderless window appears in which you can use the Steam-overlay. You also get access to touch- and radial-menus and other functionality normally only present in Games
GlosSI provides a target application that can be added as a "Non-Steam Game" to Steam.
When launched, it redirects all configured controller inputs to a virtual system-level XBox360 controller.
In addition to that, Gamecontroller-inputs are redirected to the whole operating system, so that they will work with any game or application
Real Gamecontrollers are hidden from other applications, so that they can't interfere with your game.
Additionally, it provides the Steam Overlay in an (always on top) transparent window.
This brings full Steam-Input functionality to the desktop and any other application Steam-Input might not have worked before
As a result, this brings full Steam-Input functionality to the desktop and any other application Steam-Input might not have worked before.
Games do not need to be launched using GlosSI.
If the "Start Application" option does not work, launch any GlosSI-Shortcut from Steam, followed by a game or application.
However, to ease managing multiple GlosSI shortcuts, there is also a GlosSI-Config application included.
It allows one to create individual GlosSITarget configurations which can launch games for you, and easily add or remove them from Steam.
- a replacement for Steams controller configuration tool.
- a Steam remote play / steam game streaming solution. (That being said, it **can** work, but is not guaranteed to.)
- Old versions (GloSC, Global [S]team[C]ontroller) where never designed to be used with anything other than said controller, GlosSI can be used with any controller.
- a Steam remote play / steam game streaming solution. (That being said, it **can** work, but is not guaranteed to.)
The experience when doing this is most likeley miserable; Thus there is **no support for this use case**.
