How to create / add Bookmarks for your Builds in Steam Overlay

Overview

You can add/create bookmarks to Steam Overlay UI / Steam Browser, so you can one-click open them in browser in-game.

A word in advance

It is not yet known how to edit the overlay game specific, so it will be visible in all games.

After every game or Steam update your overlaydesktop.layout will be reset.

Make a copy or Steam also makes you into the folder a .old version – that means you need to delete the normal one and then you delete the .old from the name.

I am very grateful for any hints on how to change game specifically.

What to do ?!

First: How to find the Path

  • Open your steam folder, navigate to resourcelayout folder
  • Find overlaydesktop.layout file and open it with any text editor. The file format is similar to JSON.

Second: How to add a Bookmark

  • In the text editor, in “controls” section, add following line: BookmarkID { controlname=”URLLabel” labeltext=”Your bookmark name here” urltext=”your page URL here” style=”sidemenu”}

**BookmarkID = Your specific Name of your Bookmark


Third: How to let you show your Bookmark in the Steam Overlay

4) In “layout” section, add your BookmarkID to the list in following line:

place{controls=”GameGroupsButton,ChatRoomButton,DLCButton,GuideButton,,WebSiteButton,RecommendButton,WorkshopButton,Your BookmarkID here” y=50 align=right region=overlay dir=down spacing=10 }
