Steam News and Players Viewer

Feature Description

Hi, I’d love to integrate Steam News and Players Viewer into my Fullscreen theme Aniki Remake.
At the moment, the only option is to embed the full control, which works, but it’s hard to customize visually or adapt to controller navigation.

Would it be possible to expose a few bindable properties in PluginSettings so themes can display and style the data directly?

Requested additions

CurrentPlayers → current number of Steam players
NewsTitle, NewsDate, NewsTextPlain → text values of the current news item
NextNewsCommand / PreviousNewsCommand → to navigate between articles

Control options for the internal ScrollViewer

NewsMaxHeight → set the visible height
Use ScrollViewerEx instead of the regular ScrollViewer in Fullscreen mode (so ↑/↓ scroll and ←/→ exit, like other Fullscreen panels)

This would allow Fullscreen themes to display the player count and news text directly within their own layout, while controlling the content height and keeping controller navigation consistent with the rest of the interface.

Thanks a lot for considering it !
