General

Hide idle windows (not recommended)

• Purpose: Allows users to idle games without visible idle windows on the desktop/taskbar
• Considerations:
  • Requires manually ending the SteamUtility.exe process for each game in Windows Task Manager
  • Automated idling (Card Farming, Achievement Unlocker, Auto Idler) will still handle process termination
• Identifying Processes:
  • Click the dropdown next to the process in Windows Task Manager to identify which process belongs to which game

Prevent away status on Steam

• Purpose: Prevents your Steam status from automatically switching to away while SGI is running

Get notified about free games

• Purpose: Receive native Windows notifications when free Steam games are available to add to your account

Clear custom list when logging out

• Purpose: Clears all custom list data when logging out of SGI using the button

Run at startup

• Purpose: SGI will be added to your startup programs and will run when Windows starts

Use your own Steam web API key

• Purpose: Allows users to supply their own Steam web API key for fetching user summary and game data
• Considerations: - Useful if users want to keep their Steam profile and game details set to private, but still use SGI as normal
  • This works only when using an API key that is attached to the account you are logged in to SGI as
  • Some features still won’t work if your profile or game details are private, such as;
    • Displaying recently played games
    • Displaying lock/unlock state of achievements
  • API keys are free for all users with a Steam account, you can get your API key here
