Playdock 1.2.0

Playdock 1.2.0

Real per-skin visual identity, six structurally different library layouts, full controller
navigation, and a batch of real bugs found and fixed through live testing rather than guesswork.

Library look

• 6 real visual skins (Luxury, Brutalist, Terminal, Soft, Pixel, Minimal), each rendering the
  actual mockup HTML/CSS it was designed from - Grid is a real embedded browser view running the
  original markup directly, and every other layout ports each skin's own card shape, shadow
  language, button recipe, and art treatment so nothing looks like "a wallpaper and a font" next
  to Grid.
• 6 structurally different layouts - Grid, Shelves, Sidebar, Steam-style, Carousel, Spotlight -
  each a genuinely distinct navigation model, not the same grid reskinned.
• Every card, in every layout, now shows a real per-skin action button with genuine raised,
  tactile depth (Soft's neumorphic dual-shadow construction, Brutalist's hard offset shadow) -
  not a flat color fill.
• Cards and buttons pick up a subtle tint from each game's own artwork, with a real fix for a
  color-extraction bug that was fabricating a fake yellow cast on nearly every card.
• A real "Mac" badge for games found in the native macOS Steam client, alongside "Custom" for
  manually-imported ones, on every layout.
• A first-launch setup wizard for picking a look.

Controller support

• Full D-pad/A/B navigation across the dashboard, C: Drive, and every layout, including Grid's
  real WebView-rendered cards (a genuine focus-ring bridge into the page itself).
• LT/RT step between games in Carousel/Shelves/Spotlight; LB/RB switch top-level tabs.
• An on-screen control legend showing the real, currently-connected controller's own button
  glyphs (Xbox glyphs for an Xbox pad, PlayStation's for a DualSense).
• A floating Steam icon that can collapse to a small, still-expandable edge tab instead of a
  full toggle-or-nothing choice.

Real bugs fixed this cycle

• The C: Drive browser's rows didn't respond to clicks at all - a button nested inside a button
  inside a List row, which macOS doesn't hit-test reliably.
• Controller detection itself could silently never fire for an already-paired Bluetooth
  controller - added the two real, documented APIs (shouldMonitorBackgroundEvents,
  startWirelessControllerDiscovery) this app never called.
• Grid's own D-pad row math was permanently stuck at one column.
• The floating Steam icon's focus logic warped to it from any card in an incomplete last row,
  not just the true last one.

Also

• Zero-manual-setup installs (Playdock downloads its own Wine engine and runtime libraries).
• Real Steam box art support, and custom games' small icons showing real art.
