Sometimes I’ll open desktop mode on my Steam Deck LCD to watch stuff and the colors are great and vibrant like in gaming mode after the 3.5 update. But most other times I’ll open it and everything looks dull and washed out again. Does anyone know how this is happening? There aren’t any new “adjust color” settings in desktop mode from what I can find. Could the color boost I’m sometimes getting after opening desktop mode just be a glitch? Sure hope not… because it looks great.

    Search for “Nested Desktop” in the start menu and right-click it/add to Steam. Then return to game mode and run it.

    This lets you launch the desktop as an app in game mode, so it should keep the same color settings.

    Use one of the community layouts for controls

      Neat little trick for sure. But why it sometimes works fine (without using Nested Desktop) and other times it doesn’t? Whoever can figure this out, please let me know!
