There is an issue with Steam and a lot of users have not received a free copy of Decent Icons 2 as of yet. I have opened a ticket with Valve and am attempting to resolve this issue AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

I have re-enabled the beta and you can try out the newest version. The workshop will remain tied to Decent Icons 1 until this issue is resolved.

I apologize for this unforeseen issue and am doing everything I can to resolve it!
In the mean-time, I will keep the Beta running and updated along with Decent Icons 2 so no one will be missing out.

Remember guys, if you own Decent Icon 1, you should automatically own Decent Icons 2 and be able to find it in your Software tab of your Steam Library.

Workshop Creators!

You should be able to publish your existing icon packs immediately to the new Steam Workshop.

The beta has ended and you may have automatically reverted to Decent Icons 1.

Please let me know ASAP if you run into any problems transitioning to the new version, and as always, any feedback is welcome and appreciated!

THANK YOU!

If you currently own, or will ever own Decent Icons 1, when Version 2 is released you will automatically have Decent Icons 2 on your list of software on Steam free of charge.

Consider it my gift of gratitude to you all for helping me so much during this journey towards creating a better program. Your feedback, patience, and help during version one's development, as well as the beta for version 2, has been invaluable, and quite frankly, humbling.

For those of you using the Version 2 beta, it will go offline on September 29, 2019 and you will have to install the official release of Version 2, but your settings and icon packs should remain intact.

The public beta for Decent Icons version 2.0 is now live.
Information on how to access the beta is provided in the YouTube video above.

Decent Icons Version 2.0 is a completely new program. We literally started from scratch on a new framework and new goals as far as design and functionality. We learned a lot from previous versions, and as the program grew, we eventually decided it was time to start fresh and deliver something better.

• Streamlined UI/UX - Much more efficient, responsive user experience
  
• Categories - user-created categories/tabs to help you organize your icons.
  
• Vertical Layouts - Horizontal and Veritcal layout/scrolling modes
  
• Background Mode -Automatic fullscreen app detection disables the rendering process, allowing 0% cpu/vgu usage and much lower memory usage while in a game.
  
• Search bar - search through your entire library
  
• Title Cards - title cards, automatically populated with Steam information.
  
• Borders - customizable borders for icons.
  And more

More Options
Version 2.0 has a lot of new features, but currently lacks some of the options that were available in previous versions, especially concerning Titles. I will be adding these and more options periodically throughout the beta test.

Steam Workshop:
Some of you might be wondering, wheres Steam Workshop??
It's coming. It's actually quite far along, but I wanted to get the base application running as smooth as possible before introducing the workshop functionality. This is next up on the list and will be added as soon I'm confident everything is stable.

Steam workshop will allow you to publish/subscribe to custom icons, borders, overlays, and other planned items, as well as Interface Mods.

Decent Icons 2.0 is based on the Electron framework, which uses embedded Chromium (google chrome's open source webbrowser) to render the user interface.

As such, Decent Icons's user interface is built entirerly using web-design / development languages/frameworks like HTML5, CSS, JavaScript & Jquery.

The program's interface files will be made publicly available and documentation will be provided on how to properly create mods.

This will allow anyone with experience in these web design languages/frameworks to easily mod the interface and functionality of the user-interface modularly, and publish them through Steam Workshop.

More features
Adding new features to Decent Icons has become a much quicker and painless experience with the new update, and new features and updates will be added much more often.
What features I add from here on out will be mostly based on user-feedback, so please leave some feedback and suggestions for updates you'd like to see for Decent Icons!

Thank you for participating in the Decent Icons Versoin 2 Beta.
