RGB software is such garbage. Aura sucks, Synapse sucks, iCue sucks, Polychrome really really really sucks, RGB Fusion sucks, they're all bloated garbage designed to lock you into an ecosystem and produced by the lowest tier of programmers around apparently as they are unstable and usually incredibly bloated messes.
This nonsense is why I started working on what eventually became OpenRGB.
Great piece of code
Oh lol, I thought I recognized the username. Nice work on OpenRGB! I used it for a couple years, but now my desktop has since been converted into a server chassis, so I've killed off all of the lighting.
Still runs great on my girlfriend's desktop though!
I'm a total OpenRGB noob and just wanted to know of there's an easy way from Linux to detect the number of LEDs in a device? I only recently wiped my Win11 install and Synapse would tell me how many each had, but I'm struggling at guessing in OpenRGB.
Also, is it possible to edit the colors used in the spectrum effect?
Thanks for the work you've put into this, I completely agree that all these systems are garbage, and in so over their bullshit.
Just start at 1, set color, keep incrementing until the last LED in the string doesn't control anything
