    Alt-F4 does close big picture if that helps any.

    Using a middle-ware like RocketLauncher that bounces focus back to the front end might work, so long as it triggers after Big Picture takes over.

    I've tried to run Big Picture in the background myself so I can build a sort of Front End - Front End that lets me cycle between it and Big Box and other things, but I've had no luck getting it to actually hide away.

    I've been working on a program that lets me launch anything through Steam via a proxy application but it's a little fiddly still as I've only just gotten it working reliably on my system this week.  It's in the third party tools section here but probably isn't what you're after, at least not with it's current feature set.  I'm farming for suggestions though as I work on it.

    Good point, i will have to try that out.

    Right but that's what I'm saying. You don't have to use Big Picture at all just to launch a Steam game through Big Box. A normal Steam launch ID will run it through LB/BB just fine (and drop you back to LB/BB afterwards).

    I don't think there's anything you're going to be able to do about this short of maybe creating a batch to run Big Picture and then automatically launch Big Box in a single shortcut. Big Picture is definitely an attention hog. You'll basically always be dropped back into Big Picture once you're done playing whatever it is you've launched through it. This is why the Big Picture -> Big Box method works, because it sees you as "playing" Big Box. So as long as you're still doing/launching things through Big Box via that method, it'll drop you back to Big Box. If you launch something else from Big Picture, it's going to take you back to Big Picture once you're "done".

    I feel like there's a way to resize the notifications in Steam... Not sure if there's a way around the keyboard thing though.

    Fair enough i will just keep using it through bp, thanks for your help buddy.

  3. It is a band aid because i dont want to have to launch big picture, to launch big box, to launch a steam game, that just seems silly. And the reason i use big picture is because i game on the couch (the whole reason for using big box) The notifications are displayed bigger (achievements ect) and if i get a message of a friend i dont have to jump for a keyboard and mouse, i can just use a pad. @Jason Carr Fair enough buddy.

    Ok, it wasn't easy but it's done. 
    There it is. I'll add them in archives in download section for the next big update. In the meantime, you can take them here. 

    I hope it's ok for you :)
