I wanted to share a really impressive Decky Loader plugin that I recently discovered: Panel de Control.

First of all, I am not the creator of this plugin. All credit goes to Hooandee, who developed and actively maintains it.

The plugin acts as a unified control center for a wide range of handheld gaming PCs running SteamOS. Depending on your device, it lets you manage features such as:

• RGB lighting
• TDP and power profiles
• Custom fan curves
• Controller/button remapping
• Other hardware-specific settings

One of its biggest strengths is its support for multiple handhelds, including:

• Steam Deck
• ASUS ROG Ally
• ASUS ROG Ally X
• ASUS Xbox Rog Ally X
• MSI Claw
• Lenovo Legion Go S
• Lenovo Legion Go 2

Instead of relying on different vendor utilities or workarounds, this plugin brings many of these controls directly into Gaming Mode through Decky Loader, making the experience much more seamless.

You can find the project on GitHub here:
👉 https://github.com/Hooandee/panel-de-control

If you speak Spanish (or don't mind using subtitles), Hooandee also has an excellent YouTube channel where he regularly publishes Steam Deck, SteamOS and handheld gaming tutorials:

I simply wanted to give this project a bit more visibility because I think it's an excellent tool for the SteamOS handheld community. Huge thanks to Hooandee for all the work he's put into it!

I cannot do anything in gaming mode, I already uninstalled and reinstalled decky, I cannot press anything or use any buttons

My setup has no working HDMI-CEC (I'm on a UGREEN DisplayPort→HDMI adapter, and something on the Bazzite side just isn't passing CEC through right now). The practical result: when I turn everything on, the TV doesn't switch itself to the right input like it should — I have to grab the remote every single time.

Instead of fighting CEC, I went around it. DeckaTV is a Decky Loader plugin that talks to the TV over the network and does the input switching itself. I've also set my TV on a static IP in my network, I think it's mandatory for the wake-on-lan part.

Right now it supports LG (webOS) TVs only, since that's what I have — but I built it brand-agnostic on purpose, so adding another brand is a self-contained driver and nothing else changes. Contributions or API details for other brands very welcome.

- Pairs with your TV over the network and lets you switch its HDMI input straight from the Quick Access menu — no remote, no CEC.

- Auto-switches when the screen comes up. You set "this screen = this input" once, and it flips the TV to that input on its own whenever that display appears. It keys off the display's actual identity (EDID), so the rule follows the physical TV, not an HDMI port.

- Handles multiples cases: cold boot with the TV already connected, resume from sleep, slow Wi-Fi coming up — it keeps retrying until the switch actually lands instead of firing once and giving up.

- Wake-on-LAN, so it can wake a TV in standby before switching.

- One-touch re-assert by pressing the Steam/Guide button, like a console's home button, if the input ever ends up wrong.

Upfront: I built this with heavy help from AI coding tools. My understanding is that's against the Decky Loader store's rules, so I'm not submitting it there — it's a manual/sideload install, and I'd rather be transparent than have it show up on the store and cause a stink. It's free and open source, so read the code, and use it at your own discretion.

Would love some feedback

Thank you, hope you enjoy my passion project

I assume I need to update some plugins, but I have to reset as soon as I enter the Decky tab. What do I do?

Deck Shelves 3.0.0 is here! 🎉

This is the biggest update the plugin has received so far. The goal wasn't just to add features, but to make Deck Shelves feel like a more complete and polished part of the Steam Deck experience.

⚙️ A real Settings page

The old compact menu is gone. Settings now open in a full-screen interface (from the gear icon in Quick Access) with dedicated tabs for Shelves, Profiles, Shortcuts, Backup, and more.

📊 Statistics & Smart Suggestions

See how you actually use your shelves with activity charts, most-used shelves, and a breakdown of your library. You'll also get one-click shelf suggestions based on your games, along with recommendations to clean up shelves you never use.

🧩 More powerful shelf creation

Creating shelves is much more flexible now:

• Many new filter and sorting options (playtime, genre, achievements, install size, friends playing, and more).
• Combine multiple sources into a single shelf.
• New built-in shelves like Never Played and Deck Playable.
• Include games from other launchers.

🎨 More customization

Personalize every shelf with logos, icons, descriptions, and resizable banners. There's also a new full-page shelf layout for a more immersive look, plus small game icons displayed next to each title.

💾 Profiles

Save your entire configuration as a profile, switch between profiles instantly, and export/import them for backups or multiple Steam Decks. A built-in Default profile lets you reset everything whenever you want.

🎮 Custom shortcuts

Remap—or completely disable—the controller shortcuts to match your preferences.

🔍 Better navigation

Quick Search lets you instantly jump to any game, while the new Side Navigation makes moving between shelves much faster and automatically opens on your current shelf.

☀️ Light Mode & 🛠️ Advanced Mode

Choose the experience that fits you:

• Light Mode keeps the interface simple by hiding advanced options.
• Advanced Mode unlocks integrations, diagnostic tools, reset options, and log viewing for power users.

🔔 Better notifications & logging

Notifications are now cleaner and more consistent, with dedicated icons and clickable update alerts. For troubleshooting, you can enable Show all logs and copy them directly when needed.

This release includes many additional improvements, fixes, and quality-of-life changes beyond the highlights above.

Full release notes: https://github.com/santojon/Deck-Shelves/releases/tag/v3.0.0

I've had decky or whatever it's called installed for a while now but every time I go to the icon now this happens. Does anyone know how I can fix it?

Anyone know why? What’s the fix?

Now the circle is complete.

Playhub Metadata is now able to visually transform a non-Steam game into a Steam game with:

• Full working Activity page, with official Steam post coming from the developers (news, updates, hotfix, events, and so on). And you can also add non-Steam game activity to your home screen in the "What's New" section alongside your official Steam games.
• Your stuff page that integrate XBOX Achievements and RetroAchievements;
• Community page with contents coming from IGN, YouTube and RAWG;
• Game info page with all the metadata you need (description, developer, publisher, release date, features).

This is a giant step in integrating non-Steam games. Now I will seriously rest guys.

Here's the usual What's Changed lines:

What’s Changed

• Added a full native Steam Activity section for non-Steam games, Playhub Metadata now tries to match games with Steam events and show them directly in the Steam game activity tab.
• Added support for multiple Steam activity/event types:
  • Minor Update / Patch Notes
  • Regular Update
  • Major Update
  • DLC Release
  • Loot Event
  • Perks Event
  • Challenge Event
  • News
  • In-Game Event
• Added native Steam news/event opening, activities open using Steam’s own event viewer.
• Added Show activities in Home, allowing Playhub Metadata activities from non-Steam games to appear inside Steam’s Home What’s New section.
• Added Home activity controls:
  • Number of games in Home slider, from 1 to 6.
  • Most recent, to restore Steam-like recent ordering.
  • Shuffle, to refresh the Home selection with different games.
• Added per-game Steam Activity Metadata controls, allowing you to refetch or remove the Steam activity association for a specific non-Steam game.
• Added source icons for Community content:
  • YouTube content now uses a YouTube icon.
  • IGN content now uses an IGN icon.
  • RAWG content now uses a RAWG icon.

Improvements

• Removed automatic background activity refreshes while browsing Steam, activities are now updated manually through the dedicated Update activities button.
• Improved activity refresh feedback, the plugin now shows which game is currently being updated.
• Improved background task feedback, notifications are now shown when background activity updates start.
• Improved Xbox achievement progress sync feedback, background progress synchronization now shows a notification when it starts.
• Replaced the previous achievement display with a cleaner unlock-based view, achievements are now shown in descending unlock order and more achievements are visible at once.
• Improved Community content presentation with clearer provider branding for YouTube, IGN and RAWG entries.

You can download and update the Playhub Metadata plugin using the Playhub app on Windows available here, or you can download the latest zip file here and install it manually with Decky.

Made Flicker — real-time ambient lighting for the ROG Ally on Bazzite. Samples the screen and drives the joystick RGB rings to match (unified / left-right split / four-corner quad), and the sticks flare their ring as you push. Vibrancy-weighted + bias-light so it tracks the mood without strobing. Open source: https://github.com/wjames111/flicker
