Steam Input enables users to customize controller virtual menus by adding personal icons, which can be applied on a per-game basis. This feature allows for the creation of unique visual indicators for specific in-game actions, such as spells or weapon selections, by replacing standard numeric labels with custom images. To implement this, users must create a PNG image with a transparent background, typically sized at 512x512 pixels. The image file is then placed into the specific game's binding icons folder within the Steam directory. Once the file is correctly placed and Steam is restarted, the custom icon becomes available for selection within the Steam Input controller settings. This process allows for a highly personalized controller configuration, enabling users to tailor their input interface to the specific requirements and aesthetics of individual games. The feature is accessible through the Steam Input interface, providing a straightforward method for enhancing the functionality and visual appeal of controller setups.
