Custom buttons

This plugin allows you to add additional custom buttons to the Steam client, which allow you to open any websites or apps on your computer - for example https://howlongtobeat.com/?q=%GAME_NAME% or S:\Programs\Epic Games\Launcher\Engine\Binaries\Win64\EpicGamesLauncher.exe

Old pull request #123 was automatically closed due to an error, so I'm opening PR again.

This plugin allows you to add customizable buttons to the Steam interface.

Fixed

• Migrated to the starlight template (millennium.toml), TS errors 253 → 0, dependencies reduced to starlight + React types.
• Replaced deprecated AddWindowCreateHook / findElement and DOM cloning with Hooking API patches.
• Removed noise logs (backend and frontend).
• Language now follows the Steam client language; plugin language option removed.
• Removed own sleep.
• Top buttons: fixed CSS with 12px font; "Top buttons style" section removed in favour of QuickCSS (selectors documented in README).
• Settings rebuilt with Millennium components, IconsModule icons, description props; buttons are edited in a modal.

Not changed (and why)

• title on top buttons and app-page buttons: icon-only buttons have no other label, so the tooltip is the only way to know what a button does.
• Settings stay in localStorage: avoids migrating existing user data; obsolete keys are ignored.
• Text arrow in Store menu items (if confirmed): Steam's menu item name only accepts a string.
• Anything that turns out impossible during implementation is added here with the reason.

im going to trust you on your fixes, but check if it works after switching to big picture mode and back

[diemonic1]

@ricewind012 Yes, it works when switching to big picture mode and back. The buttons that appear in the game’s context menu (when we right-click on the game) are also shown in big picture mode.

lol

@ricewind012 Don't understand, is something wrong?

[ricewind012]

no

[diemonic1]

@ricewind012 So is there anything else I need to do, or should I just wait now?

[ricewind012]

no, just wait

[lokalizator-repo]

highly customizable plugin, but I'd love it if there was an option to add custom buttons for specific games. mb if it's already possible and I just couldn't find it

[diemonic1]

@lokalizator-repo Hello! A pull request discussion is not the best place to ask for new features. Please, on the repository page in the issues section, create a new issue and describe in detail what functionality you would like.
If you want, you can write in Russian

@ricewind012 Hi, sorry, but I still don’t understand what we are waiting for and how much longer to wait - I’ve been waiting for the pull request for a year now, and I sincerely don’t understand why it’s not happening, because this year it was literally the first time you wrote to me and told me to do a refactoring - I did it, and now I’m sitting again waiting for something unclear

starlight builds are borked
