Some cool new plugins from the Decky Store: turn your screen off (OLED only), IsThereAnyDeal, and brightness bar pop up (sopuli.xyz)

I was browsing the Decky store and came across the following new plugins:

MagicBlack - Turns your whole screen black with a convenient hotkey press. On OLED models this will turn off all the screen pixels, letting you effectively turn the screen off for downloads and other uses. A different plugin called Reshade Deck has been working on similar functionality through adding screensavers to it's plugin, but I'm not sure if that's made it to the stable plugin version yet.
IsThereAnyDeal - when browsing Steam games on the deck, will check IsThereAnyDeal and show you the lowest price at the bottom of the screen.
Brightness Bar - when turning the brightness up and down by using the `STEAM/QAM + LS/RS up/down' shortcuts, this will display a bar to show what the brightness level is. Looks just like the volume bar shown when changing the volume, and feels like something that should have already been part of the UI.

To view decky plugins from desktop, you can view the stable plugins here and testing plugins here. If you specifically want to find the github page for a specific plugin (for more details, bug report, etc) go to this page and click on the specific plugin you want.

Is there any deal plugin is handy.

There's a plugin for HowLongToBeat that I only just found: https://github.com/hulkrelax/hltb-for-deck

This will show some of those competion time stat's when you go into the page for each game. Very non-intrusive. Even works for non-steam games.

I used to really like that plugin, but it wasn't working the last time I checked.

Oh, it's been working for me pretty well. On Beta branch of Steam OS as well as the Beta/testing branch of Decky. Maybe it's a newer patch. Only found it 2 days ago.

Well that's good, I'll try reinstalling it.

I was also on beta/testing, and it had been broken for the last few months when I uninstalled it.
