DeckyZone is a Decky plugin for the Zotac Gaming Zone that aims to bridge the most common compatibility gaps until full compatibility lands. I started with controller-related fixes first, because those were the first issues I ran into and I was especially hyped about getting the dials working.
Run the following in terminal:

Controller Features is the master switch for the InputPlumber-based controller runtime. Home Button and Brightness Dial are dependent toggles: disabling Controller Features also turns both of them off.
Gyro Orientation Fix installs a temporary DeckyZone-owned InputPlumber Zotac IMU mount-matrix override until the upstream device profile includes the same matrix.
Trackpad modes:
Default: normal controller behavior with mouse available.Disabled: turns off both trackpads.Directional Buttons: left trackpad is D-pad, right trackpad is A/B/X/Y.
| Feature | SteamOS main |

| Enable Zotac Glyphs | ✅ | ✅ | ❓ | ❓ |
Zotac Glyphs applies Zotac controller button glyphs and controller images in Steam UI.

| Enable Zotac OLED Profile | Built in | ✅ | ❓ | ❓ |
| Enable Green Tint Fix | ✅ | ✅ | ❓ | ❓ |
Display changes require a reboot after toggling them. HDR / Washed out colors was fixed out of the box in my SteamOS main, SteamOS 3.8.1 Preview, Bazzite, Nobara, and CachyOS testing.
Controller features rely on InputPlumber and Zotac input/HID support. Non-SteamOS compatibility depends on what that OS image currently ships and exposes to Decky Loader.
I already contributed patches there and it's included in the latest release. It was much faster to extend this plugin than to integrate the same functionality into DeckyZone itself.
