Manually adding library entries

OpenGamepadUI automatically looks for games in ~/.local/share/applications for any software with the Game category. To manually add a library entry, you can create a .desktop file in this location with the command to execute.

Example:

~/.local/share/applications/Atomic Owl.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Atomic Owl
Exec=steam steam://rungameid/3159870
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Game;
