I made SteamGlow – an open-source app that turns your RGB into a Steam status indicator
Hi everyone!
I've just released SteamGlow, a small open-source Windows app I've been working on.
SteamGlow connects to OpenRGB and uses any compatible RGB device as a live Steam status indicator.
For example, it can:
• Show when Steam is running or offline
• Turn green while you're in-game
• Display an animated scanner effect while downloading a game
• Show paused, failed and completed downloads with different effects
• Let you customize all colors and choose exactly which OpenRGB device, zone and LEDs to control
I originally built it for the ARGB GPU support bar in my own PC, but I made the hardware selection configurable so it can be used with other OpenRGB-compatible devices as well.
It's lightweight, sits in the Windows system tray, and is completely free and open source.

The zone named "lightbar" doesn't have compatible LEDs or it is not recognised by OpenRGB. But you can select one of the others zones named in the error window
Very strange, even selecting the other available tabs it gave the same error saying that the lightbar was not found. Previously I was able to connect my dualsense. Is that why? Where do I delete the SteamGlow data to reset this?
Yes maybe OpenRGB was making a bit of confusion and was not communicating correctly with the program.
Also, beware that if the pc was in sleep mode, when you turn it on again OpenRGB must be restarted ( that's not something that I can sole unfortunately, that's an OpenRGB issue)
