GOG Galaxy 2.0 Start Menu Tiles

Main repository at: https://gitlab.com/ChriZ98/gog-galaxy-2-0-start-menu-tiles

This script lets you create Start Menu Tiles of your favourite games in Windows 10! 🎮

Simply download the GOG_Galaxy_Start_Menu.exe from the Releases section. Your GOG Galaxy 2.0 database will be read and shortcuts will be created in the Programs section. Additionally tiles will be automatically added to the Start Menu, providing a stylish and easy access. ✨

See Usage for more information on the detailed configuration options.

Note:

If you have applied a Start Menu Layout previosly, all changes will be reverted and all tiles will be removed from your Start Menu! This can be the case for computers managed by organizations. The application needs admin rights to create registry keys that add tiles to the Start Menu!

Examples:

✨ Planned Features

• Add build pipeline
• Add custom Start Menu group name setting
• Test whether registry folder exists
• Create Desktop icons
• Remember tiles and remove old image files
• Possibility to choose different icon image source
