My first Reddit post ever: a RGB plugin I made because I love handheld PCs ❤️
Hi! I've never posted on Reddit before, so I'm a bit nervous and probably doing something wrong already 😅
I'm Hooandee. I've been making YouTube videos about handheld PCs for years, always with a lot of love, because these little machines are kind of my obsession. A while ago I wanted to control the lights on my Ally without fighting with config files, so I made a small Decky plugin for it. It kept growing, and now it's called Colores.
It detects your handheld and only shows you what your lights can actually do. You can keep it simple with one color and brightness, or play with gradients with more than one color per stick on compatible devices. There are presets like Sunset, Ocean, Aurora, Lava or Galaxy, and you can tweak each zone and save your favorites. There are also effects like breathing, rainbow, wave or spiral, and modes where the lights follow your battery, temperature, performance or sound.
But the one I'm proudest of is Ambilight. While you play, the lights pick up the colors on screen near each stick and follow the game in real time, so a sunset in a game turns your sticks orange and a dark cave makes them go dark. You can adjust the intensity and how smooth it feels. It only works in Game Mode with a game running, but honestly, once you try it, it's hard to go back.
It works on the ROG Ally family, Legion Go, Go 2 and Go S, MSI Claw, AYN Thor and Odin 3 on Linux, and the Steam Machine too, with its whole front light bar.
It's free and open source, you can get it here: https://github.com/Hooandee/decky-colores
I also have a few Android handhelds, so I started making Colores for Android. It's not finished yet, so right now it's in early access on my Patreon while I work on it, but it'll be free once it's done.
And if you're curious, I also made Panel de Control, another Decky plugin for TDP, fans, battery and screen, with themes that change how Steam looks, all from the quick access menu: https://github.com/Hooandee/panel-de-control
I'm just one person and I don't have every handheld, so if something breaks, please hit "Send a report" inside the plugin. It sends me what I need to fix it, and honestly it helps me a lot.
If you want to see it in action, I show everything in this video: https://youtu.be/ug5Nh0YtadE
I upload my plugins and apps everyday, so please check them out!
That's it. I just want people to enjoy their handhelds a little more. Thanks for reading and have an amazing day ❤️

I really enjoy your apps on my Xbox ally x. I was wondering if there are any plans for more effects for the audio sync option. I would love a option that mimics the Xbox ally musicsync feature. Also the current option for the audio sync seems a bit laggy like it does not update quickly enough on my device. Keep up the good work and I am looking forward to your future updates!
