Delaware Flag

Delaware on your Stream Deck, as cloth rather than as a picture. The flag shows the state arms on a buff diamond over colonial blue, drawn at its official proportions and left to fall where the gaps between your keys fall — a buyer knows their own flag, and a faithful one partly hidden reads correctly where a simplified one just looks wrong.

The two colours are the buff and blue of Washington's uniform, and the date below the diamond — DECEMBER 7, 1787 — is the day Delaware ratified the Constitution first and earned the right to call itself the First State. The ox, the wheat sheaf and the ship are farming, milling and trade.

It is not a video of a flag. The cloth is simulated: a travelling wave runs through it, the surface normal is computed at every point, and the shading follows the folds rather than being painted on top of them. The colours narrow and widen as the cloth turns away from you, and the highlight travels along a crease instead of sitting on it. The wave completes exactly one cycle over the loop, so the last frame is the first frame again and it runs without a seam for as long as you leave the room.

WHAT YOU GET. One file, and it works on every Stream Deck. It is a 1440x816 master, which is larger than any deck needs, so the Stream Deck app scales it down to whatever you have — MK.2, XL, Stream Deck +, Neo, Studio, the GALLEON keyboard and Stream Deck Mobile included. Nothing is missing from your download; there is genuinely only one file to install. An illustrated HTML guide and a plain README come with it.

HONEST LIMITS. This is an animated GIF, so it needs the Stream Deck app version 6.6 or newer. The Stream Deck MINI cannot display animations at all — that is a limitation of the hardware, not of this file, and it is better said here than discovered afterwards. Nothing here is affiliated with, licensed by or endorsed by Elgato or any game publisher; the artwork is original and drawn in code.
