💖 SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STEAM_HOME_LED 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the SDL3 FUNCTIONS corner of the manual, and lemme tell you, this one is a lil glow-up for your Steam controller 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STEAM_HOME_LED — it's a variable that controls whether the Steam button LED should be turned on when a Steam controller is opened. like, the vibes of your controller's lil light? this hint is the DJ 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

#define SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STEAM_HOME_LED "SDL_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_STEAM_HOME_LED"

no cap, that's the whole entrance. she's simple, she's iconic ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the variable can be set to these values, and you literally have two moods:

• "0" — Steam button LED is turned off. lights out, napping era 😴
• "1" — Steam button LED is turned on. she's glowing, main character energy 👑

by default, the Steam button LED state is not changed. like, SDL is not gonna touch it, it minds its own business 🫶

and here's the cute part: this hint can also be set to a floating point value between 0.0 and 1.0, which controls the brightness of the Steam button LED. so you're not stuck with just on/off, you can dim her down to a soft lil glow or crank her all the way up 🌈

this hint can be set anytime. no waiting room, no appointment, just go 💅

---

⭐ AVAILABILITY ⭐

this hint is available since SDL 3.2.0. so if you're on something older… bestie. it's giving upgrade era 🙈

---

reminder that defaults matter: if you don't set this, the LED state is left alone. don't @ me, that's just what the page says 💜

and that's the whole page, periodt. brought to you by Simple Directmedia Layer, version SDL 3.4.18 — the source/version deets, right here in my cute lil sign-off. mwah, go make your controller glow 🎀💖✨
