Description

Hides the "Launching game" splash as soon as there is something behind it, and keeps "Open container" on the default blue desktop while it happens.

Splash hiding. With the gamescope game-window patch parked, nothing sends the daemon a game-window note, so the splash waited for a signal that no longer exists. The daemon now clears it on the session's first committed frame — the first moment there is content on the panel instead of the wine desktop — once per session. The bundled libgamenative_drm.so is that daemon (gamenative-drm#16).

Payload 20261024.1. The payload now comes from the APK when the build ships one: a build runs the gamescope and daemon it was tested with, and needs no network to launch. Only an APK without an archive falls back to the published download. The archive itself stays out of the tree (ignored), because a payload is an artefact of the branch that built it.

Desktop theme. Game sessions get a fixed black desktop (GAME_SESSION_THEME); "Open container" gets DEFAULT_DESKTOP_THEME, the blue one. Previously the game desktop was derived from the container's stored theme, and a launch could leave that value holding the game's, so opening the container afterwards drew black. Both sessions are now constants, so neither can leak into the other.

  • WineThemeManager: GAME_SESSION_THEME added, gameSessionTheme(...) removed.
  • XServerScreen: the launch path chooses between the two constants.
  • GamescopePayload: assets-first, VERSION 20261024.1.
  • .gitignore: ignores app/src/main/assets/gamescope-gamenative-*.tzst.
  • jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libgamenative_drm.so: rebuilt daemon, 936,576 → 901,760 B.

Summary by cubic

Hides the "Launching game" splash on the first committed frame and stops a game session's black desktop from leaking into "Open container".

  • The bundled daemon clears the splash as soon as content is on the panel; nothing signals a game-window note anymore (gamenative-drm#16).
  • Game sessions and "Open container" now use fixed theme constants (black and default blue), so the container's stored theme can no longer end up holding the game's.
  • Payload 20261024.1 ships inside the APK when the build carries one and only falls back to the published download when missing; the archive is git-ignored.

Written for commit 61f223c. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Game sessions now use a dark, solid-black theme, while other sessions use the default desktop theme.
    • Gamescope payloads can be installed from a locally available package, with online download as a fallback.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Theme settings are now applied on every launch, helping ensure the selected appearance and desktop options are consistent.

…0261024.1)

A build that carries a payload runs the gamescope and daemon it was tested
with, and needs no network to launch: the archive inside the APK is copied out
first, and only its absence falls back to the published download.

The payload archive is an artefact of the branch that made it, so it stays out
of the tree and is ignored by git.

The bundled daemon clears the booting splash on the session's first committed
frame instead of on a game-window note from the scan-out channel, and no longer
decodes that note (gamenative-drm#16).
The game desktop used to be derived from the container's stored theme, and a
launch could leave that value holding the game's, so opening the container
afterwards drew the black desktop instead of the default blue one.

The two sessions are now fixed: DEFAULT_DESKTOP_THEME is what "Open container"
applies, GAME_SESSION_THEME is the black desktop a game session applies. The
launch path reads neither the container's stored value nor anything the
previous session wrote.

📝 Walkthrough

Gamescope payload setup now checks for an archive in APK assets before fetching it. Wine launches now apply a fixed game-session or desktop theme, and theme application writes shell and system-tray registry values according to showDesktop.

Changes: Gamescope payload provisioning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Asset-first archive provisioning
.gitignore, app/src/main/java/app/gamenative/display/GamescopePayload.kt
The payload version changes. Setup tries to copy the archive from APK assets and falls back to fetching it if the asset is absent or copying fails. Successful copies report completed progress before installation. Locally built archives are excluded from Git.

Wine theme setup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Theme format and registry application
app/src/main/java/com/winlator/core/WineThemeManager.java
A dark game-session theme is added. ThemeInfo now parses background type and color from three comma-separated values. apply writes EnableShell and ShowSystray according to showDesktop.
Launch theme selection
app/src/main/java/app/gamenative/ui/screen/xserver/XServerScreen.kt
Each launch applies the game-session theme or the default desktop theme instead of using the container theme and cached theme key.

Retry the bundled asset after an interrupted copy.

If the app stops after copyFromAssets writes part of the archive, the next ensure call treats that nonempty file as usable. It skips this asset-copy branch. Extraction then fails and deletes the file, so that launch fails even though the APK contains the payload. Copy to a temporary file and promote it only after the copy completes, or retry the bundled asset when extraction fails.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not use the download fallback after a bundled asset copy fails.

When the asset exists but copying fails, copyFromAssets returns false, so ensure calls SteamService.fetchFileWithFallback(ARCHIVE, archive, context, onProgress). This violates the asset-only fallback contract and can cause an unnecessary network download, including a successful online download.

Both the current code and the proposed propagation delete dest on copy failure. A failed network fallback also deletes dest, so the next ensure retries the bundled asset in either case. Propagation does not prevent an offline launch failure; it only prevents the unnecessary download.

Propagate the copy failure instead of returning false:

         return runCatching {
             assets.open(ARCHIVE).use { input -> dest.outputStream().use { output -> input.copyTo(output) } }

Give game-session tooltips contrasting colors.

GAME_SESSION_THEME now selects DARK for every game session. In the DARK palette, InfoText and InfoWindow are both 255 255 255 (Lines 109–110). Tooltips that use these system colors have white text on a white background. Set InfoWindow to a dark color, or set InfoText to a dark color, before applying this theme to all games.
