Screensavers

• Added a new screensaver feature, accessible in Settings > Customization. There are two screensavers available:

  • The default is a game art slideshow that can be configured to show artwork from recently played games and your recent in-game screenshots.

  • A retro inspired bouncing logo screensaver

• Big Picture mode can also load custom screensavers. Similar to startup movies, they can be placed at ~/.steam/root/config/uioverrides/screensavers/. You can use the bouncing logo screensaver as an example to get started.
