Plugging Ally X into external monitor changes games' default resolutions
This is a minor bug, but I found that in Bazzite, if you plug the ROG Ally X into an external monitor and play games in gaming mode, the resolutions get pretty messed up, and causes games' starting resolutions to be changed permanently. The fix requires you to find the game's config file and type in the Ally X's native resolution. This occurs with Baldur's Gate 3, where the monitor (which is 1440p capable) is set to 1024x768 for some reason when connecting the Ally X via docking. Then after undocking and playing the game standalone, Baldur's Gate 3 is permanently set to 1024x768 on startup. This requires fixing in the game settings every time, or navigating to the game's config file and changing screen sizes from 1024x768 back to 1920x1080. It is weird to me how plugging/unplugging an external monitor can cause a game to rewrite its CFG file and alter launch settings without any user authorization.
I also tested Company of Heroes 3, which does not work especially well in Steam OS, and the game also launches in 1024x768 and there is no easy way to alter the resolution. Switching the docked Ally to desktop mode then back causes Company of Heroes 3 to run in native 1080p. This is not a great game to run on a handheld in any circumstance, but it goes to show that plugging/unplugging the Ally X with an external monitor causes all sorts of shenanigans in Bazzite.

Decky Loader
Hi all, so I am aware that with HHD the TDP panel is easily accessible in Bazzite. However, I would love to customize more of the Steam app's appearance in gaming mode. In particular the lack of any art for non-Steam titles really bugs me. I read that CSS Loader which is a plugin that is part of Decky Loader can be used to add custom icon art. How do I install Decky Loader? When I download the executable for Decky Loader on GitHub, executing it in Bazzite does... nothing? Or is there a better way to customize my non-steam apps?

Toggling controller mode?
I'm very new to Bazzite and Linux in general so I apologize if the answers to these questions are obvious. I did search the discord history to see if this was asked elsewhere, and also read the Bazzite guides on the Universal Blue website, without finding an answer.
1. For PC games run through a non-steam launcher like Diablo 4 (run through Battle.net), how do I toggle the game to recognize the Rog Ally as a controller? Right now the game acts like it's a PC running the game and shows the mouse cursor. It does not recognize any controller inputs.
2. Again for games like Diablo that launch via Battle.net, is there a way to make the game itself launchable as a non-Steam game in Gaming Mode? Right now I am forced to launch Battle.net from the non-Steam tab. Then I am forced each time to enter my password and click on Diablo 4 via the touchscreen, before the game launches. And then of course the game is non-playable due to controller issues.
