feel free to make your own changes, the ui will automatically change upon saving the file

ui explanation

as per steamflow/ui.py, l:107 - if the markers are confusing, swap them for whatever you prefer

UPDATE_STATUS_MARKERS = {
    "Updating": " ~~",
    "Update Paused": " ||",
    "Update Queued": " ..",
    "Update Required": " !!",
}

additional (not- &) installed games can be found in store_metrics.py l:484

title_marker = " >>" if not self.get_install_path(
    app_id) else " --"
