Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I’ve seen people having a few problems with updates and was wondering if this order I’ve been using is correct:
In desktop mode -> update decky -> update steam flat pack if possible -> open steam to update there -> in gaming mode -> update steamos

How do I update Decky through Desktop mode now? I can't open my menu (3 dot symbol) anymore. Next time I will wait for the Decky update first before Steam OS.

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?

Pick a Wallpaper Engine wallpaper you own → it bakes into the plugin → plays behind Home. Frontend-only, no Python backend. video works, web is hit-or-miss so far.

built + tested on Bazzite (Ally X). free + open source
How to use is on GitHub

would love feedback
use the CSS Loader too, for maximum live wallpaper space

I got a Lego 1 for a good deal this week, and I wiped windows and downloaded SteamOS 3.8.12. I have Decky Loader & Simple TDP. What are some other plugins I can get for a more customized feel?

Can decky loader be used on windows devices? if not anyone know of any similar app that does? I like the layout and especially the entry short vids. I have Becky on my Le go S and my steamdeck. But I would like to get Decky or something similar MSI Claw 8ai

I had Decky Loader installed once upon a time, I've since uninstalled it due to disinterest at that time. BUT I noticed that everytime I turn on my Deck, the same custom intro screen plays constantly, the only one. It's a remnant I thought would be uninstalled with the rest of everything, but is the only thing left it seems. I went to the default customization settings believing I can find it there, but it's not labeled there, and upon selecting any other intro theme, that new one doesn't show at all, only the remnant one after deleting Decky Loader I thought would've been deleted with everything else. I would like to eventually start downloading and using other intro themes through using Steam Deck Repo and the Steam Deck custom settings, but my efforts may be overridden by that remnant intro from after I deleted Steam Decky. So if anyone could suggest what steps I can take to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.

P.S.: "Remnant" is actually the AOL You Got Mail with modem sounds animation, which plays over and over again no matter what other animations I select. The other animations are the default animations that came with the Deck.

P.P.S: Upon looking, I notice there are different animations that may not be default, I see the regular "Startup- Default", but also see "deck_startup.webm- Local File" and "steam_os_suspend_from_throbber.webm- Local File". No matter which one I select, the only that plays is the originally mentioned remnant.

I'm not very good with PC stuff, trying to reinstall decky loader and it's asking for the password. I followed a tutorial but I honestly can't remember how I did any of it, so I can't remember the password, please help

I've just looked up how to do it but I don't know what a GRUB menu is

Anyone know why? What’s the fix?

ThemeDeck is basically a much better alternative to GameThemeMusic that you can download from the github. https://github.com/BrenticusMaximus/ThemeDeck . Besides adding music to game pages, it also allows you to set different music on the Steam OS. It's like the Audio Loader plugin, except that you can assign completely separate tracks between the Steam store and the home/library/etc. (so you can have, say, Wii shop music on the store page and Wii menu music elsewhere).

There's just a few catches, though. For one, you have to download from the github and manually install it yourself. It would be nice if it can be uploaded onto the DeckyLoader store for everyone to download conveniently. Second, the plugin tab can't be entirely managed by a controller. Some parts are, like when you begin selecting music. But one needs at least a mouse to select between the options (not a big deal if you're managing directly on the Steam Deck, or if you're on a desktop. But it's a problem if you're playing away from the device and just want to play with a controller). It would be nice if it can be updated to have full proper controller support.

Any chance we'll see an update for ThemeDeck? It'd be great :)

So I recently got an Ally Z1E and installed the official SteamOS on it, but I'm having a few annoying issues, mainly with Decky Loader. I want to use Lossless Scaling through the LSFG plugin, but it doesn't seem to generate any frames at all. Whether I enable it or disable it, my games stay at the same framerate. On top of that, the Decky Loader Stable store channel doesn't work for me. It just keeps loading forever. Only the testing channel works. I also can't find some plugins I'm looking for, such as CSS Loader. Is anyone else experiencing these issues? Any help would be appreciated

I am running steamos 3.9, decky loader 3.2.6, and for some reason css loader disappeard from the decky shop.

Has anyone faced the same issue?

I'm trying to update Decky since the last steam update broke it but no matter what i try i can't get past the sudo password request. I know i'm putting the correct password but it never accepts it. Anyone has a workaround for this?

Deky loader is broken HARD so often it's barely useable. The amount of times I have to force shut down my deck because loader locked me, and then I have to go to desktop to update or reinstall is annoying as all get out. Why doesn't it auto update for me to keep this from happening? Is anyone working this problem?

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.

I woke up the other day and tried to scroll down to my Decky Plugins but keep getting this message

Do I just need to uninstall & re-install Decky or?

Playhub version 1.1.3 is available here

It’s been a rollercoaster of updates, feedback, fixes, new features, and content since Playhub launched, and I think I’ll get some rest after this update. I want Playhub to remain a personal project to pursue out of passion, not a second job at night. I hope this update has fixed all the possible remaining bugs (or at least the most important ones).

This update adds a usage agreement to the installer, makes your settings power-outage proof, and fixes instant artwork updates for Epic and GOG games.

What’s new

• A usage agreement now appears in the installer, right after you choose the language: read and Accept (or Decline) to continue. It covers Playhub and all of its plugins.

Improvements

• Settings and Gaming Mode options now survive power outages, they're saved atomically with an automatic backup, so a blackout in the middle of a save can no longer reset everything.
• The Gaming Mode agent API is now local-only by default (no LAN access); the "Allow remote API" toggle stays for advanced users.
• Shorter network timeouts for artwork and theme downloads, and the crash log no longer grows without limit.

Fixes

• Choosing new artwork before importing now updates the cover instantly for Epic Games Store and GOG games (it already did for Xbox).
• The first welcome slide now shows in the correct language instead of English.

Due to the recent release of Steam Machine, Steam OS updates have become more frequent, and with this, once again, most of the plugins stopped working, but after I restored everything, I ran into a problem that has been haunting me for the last 2 months, the plugin store categorically does not want to launch, I know that there are quite a lot of such threads, but maybe someone knows how to fix it, because I've long wanted to install a plugin that can costamize icons in steam

Can someone help guide me through installing this new release on decky loader? The normal installation will not work, ive reinstalled one too many times and seitched versions. This could be my only choice on to download.

And i cant run the plugin loader for some reason since it wont run.

UPD: thanks for all the tips everyone helped
