This profile's own key art, drawn by the same code that builds the files you install — and a starting point, not a fixed layout. Once it is imported, every key, folder and page is yours to move, rename, re-icon or delete in the Elgato Stream Deck app. What this page cannot be is the rest of the box: one theme of the ones it ships, two Stream Deck models of six, one platform's key combinations, and no dials.

Can I rearrange the Visual Studio profile after installing it?

The layout is a starting point, not a lock.
Which operating systems does the Visual Studio profile support?
Windows only — every shortcut in it is a Windows combination. The install is one click either way.
