When it comes to personalizing your Steam Deck, there are plenty of ways to customize it. You can purchase different skins and cases or even change out the thumbstick covers to create a look and feel that’s completely yours. But if you want to customize the way the Steam Deck’s menus and UI look, that’s a whole other story.
How to Make Your Steam Deck Look Awesome – Theme Installation & Setup Guide
The best way to customize your Steam Deck, or at least what I’ve found over the past few months, is to install a third-party loader called Decky. This loader unlocks access to several plugins, including a CSS Loader that you can use to change the theme of your Steam Deck.
Before you can install Decky, you’ll first need to make sure you’ve set a Sudo password. If you haven’t set one yet, I recommend following our extensive instructions in our guide to installing CryoUtilities, a set of scripts and commands that help improve Steam Deck’s performance. Once you’ve set the Sudo password, you can install Decky itself, which you can do by downloading an installer file. Here are the steps:
Make sure your Steam Deck is charged, or plug it into a charger. The last thing you want is to run out of battery while installing a program.
