Author Grumpy Coder


Description
This is based on Kopert solution to removing the obnoxious Steam What's New section, because Valve couldn't be bothered to make it optional for some stupid reason.

Features
The application runs in the background to monitor the chunk css file, and when it detects it has been poisoned modified by Steam, it will automatically patch it for you.
It will first close Steam, patch the file, and re-launch Steam when it's done. The whole process should take a few seconds.

Planned Features
You tell me.

Usage
Installation
The application is portable, just extract it somewhere safe, and run the exe file.

Using the Application
The application is completely automated, and there's no real UI. It relies on an INI file for settings.
I don't suggest you mess around with it (INI) unless you know what you're doing, though.

Uninstallation
Delete it.

Tips
If you don't like seeing the popup window every time, just change the QuickPatch to 1, in the INI file, and restart the application.
You can adjust the checking interval, by changing the "CheckInterval" in the INI file (number of seconds).

Known Issues
None that I know of.

Features
  • You can add up to 20 notes, and each note can store up to 280 characters.
  • Everything is saved in a portable database file (*.ldb), so you can back it up easily.

  • All notes can be moved using the drag_move.png icon.

Planned Features
  • Nothing as of yet, but I'm open to suggestions.

Usage

Using the Application
  • Create a note, give it a title, and enter whatever you want in its body. Everything is saved automatically.
  • You'll find an icon (Screenshot 2023-10-04 182610.png) for the application in the system tray, which is used to close it as well as delete ALL notes if needed.

While this tool is definitely not for me since I don't have access to anything using BMC. I must say, as a developer, I do admire the clean UI.
It feels like a rarity these days, with many developers using over-the-top and busy designs.  :Thmbsup:

Microsoft Defender is giving a false positive for viruses.  :(

Perhaps it doesn't like it's an embedded executable, I'm not sure.
I have BitDefender Internet Security, and it scans clean. Also, here's VirusTotal result.
