What it is

Watt Toolkit (formerly Steam++) is an open-source, cross-platform multi-function Steam utility box built on .NET 7 with C# 11 and Avalonia for UI. It provides Steam-related tooling and features for gamers, with most functionality requiring Steam to be installed. The project is distributed via Steam Store and Microsoft App Store. Monorepo structure with modular Avalonia architecture: src/ contains Avalonia.Base (core abstractions), Avalonia.Desktop/Win32/X11/Native (platform implementations), Avalonia.Skia.Internals (rendering via Skia), Avalonia.WebView2 (web integration), and BD.WTTS.Client.* packages (main application logic). UI rendering is abstracted through custom internals to support…

Start here

Open these first:

• src/BD.WTTS.Client.Avalonia.App/Program.cs — Application entry point that initializes the Avalonia framework and bootstraps the cross-platform UI runtime.
• src/BD.WTTS.Client.Avalonia.App/Startup.cs — Dependency injection and service configuration container that wires together all application services and UI layers.
• src/BD.WTTS.Client.Avalonia/BD.WTTS.Client.Avalonia.csproj — Core Avalonia UI framework project definition and cross-platform control bindings that all UI components depend on.
• src/Avalonia.Base/Avalonia.Base.csproj — Low-level Avalonia primitives and metadata extensions that underpin all custom Avalonia controls across the codebase.
• src/BD.WTTS.Client.Avalonia/Converters/Abstractions/IValueConverter.cs — Core value-conversion abstraction used throughout XAML bindings to transform data between models and UI representations.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Verify the repository contains a .NET project file (.csproj or .sln) before proceeding. Recommended approach: git clone https://github.com/BeyondDimension/SteamTools.git && cd SteamTools. Then check root directory for…

Daily commands:

No Makefile or shell script entry points detected in top 60 files. Inferred .NET CLI approach: dotnet run --project src/BD.WTTS.Client.AppHost/BD.WTTS.Client.AppHost.csproj or `dotnet run --project src/BD.WTTS.Client.…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

• GPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
• No tests detected in the complete Git tree
• Scorecard: default branch unprotected (0/10)
• Avalonia requires platform-native libraries (libx11-dev on Linux, native Windows APIs on Windows, macOS frameworks on macOS)—build may fail without full development dependencies. Custom Avalonia.*.Internals packages…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
