### **::Controller Icons::**



Input Icons are controlled by "Features" category.

*Ideally each game should have only one of these active per game



**to have Full / Partial Controller Support Feature tags added automatically download

and install "Universal Steam Metadata" from the Add-ons Menu (Add-ons/Browse/MetadataSources)

If you want to have tags displayed as in the screenshots: 



In desktop mode enter "Library Manager" (Ctrl+W) / Completion Statuses and Add button
