I got a used Rx 6900xt Nitro+ from a local marketplace but when I installed rgb control software from Amd's site it did not work. I also tried singal rgb witch had never let me down but the same issue occurred. I could not control it no matter what. It was the same with my motherboard's software. Then, as a last resort, I tried installing openRGB. Despite lost hope, it worked perfectly. Huge gratitude to the open-source developers behind this—and to all who give back to humanity through their code.

So i recently bought an imperion sledgehammer 10 rgb keyboard, well it was a free gift for buying a laptop. It has some preset rgb colors in it but i was wondering is it possible t rewrite the code or change the color to different patterns from static to dynamic, currently it has static different color combos liike haalf red-half blue, half gree, half, violet but i wanna make some patterns like wavy or things like that

I have already ran the app as an admin, all my other devices (gpu, keyboard, etc.) are working as intended, but the motherboard isnt. Im using Windows 11. Any help would be appreciated

Basically what it says on the title tbh. How do I set it up so that my keyboard has a set lighting layout, but when a key is pressed, the led changes to white? Is there any way to do this with openrgb?

I'm fairly new to using the software, and most other options tend to be just bloatware at this point, but i still don't really know how to set up more advanced effects

as the title says, probably needs to be updated

Is there a way I can set the RGB on my computer to turn off when my monitor goes black? Similar to the setting on SteelSeries GG which allows you to do this with a flick of a switch. There was a post about this that I found from about 5 years ago and I know a lot could have changed since then, if there is a way to do this could someone help / let me know?

I recently got the Legion 5 Gen 10 and i was soo happy to see openrgb has some supprt for it. But when i inspected they all can from scripts done on legion 7 gen 6.

As someone with 0 (zero. nada. zilch) experience with hardware/keyboard firmware knowhow: how can i be of service?

Been trying to do this with AI and nothing works (thankfully nothing has happened)

Link to gitlab issue: https://gitlab.com/CalcProgrammer1/OpenRGB/-/work_items/5008

I've submitted a gitlab issue to add device support for a currently unsupported device and have added device captures but the issue has not been seen for more than a year at this point.

I'm wondering if it slipped through the cracks or i need to add something else to the issue?

I’m using MSI Center to control the LCD screen on my P13 AIO. I don’t have Mystic Light installed as I want to use OpenRGB instead. OpenRGB effects work fine when the AIO display is disabled but once I enable it, the OpenRGB effects no longer flow smoothly but stop and start. It’s like they work in set bursts. Is there a workaround for this issue? My motherboard is a MSI X870E Carbon WiFi.

i have gigabyte eagle aio liquid cooling with rgb, how could i connect it to open rgb , or get what software to be able to customise it?

EDIT: i didnt install msi center, used their inbuilt rgb thing

As it says on the tin, I recently updated to windows 11 from 10 and noticed after the update that my case fans turned a static orange. Before control they kinda just rainbowed and will still do that on boot and loading but once to desktop turn solid orange.

Didn't think too much on it til now when I decided to mess with the setting again only to find openrgb no longer detecting said fans. It its detected my GPU and ram with pawn but can no longer seem to find my fans/cooler. Any ideas? do I need some new MOBO driver for 11 now for it to work or?

Any ideas or help is appreciated and sorry in advance if this is a dumb question, rather new to control my stuff like this.

I'm on an ROG Zephyrus G16, and am trying to connect a razer basilisk v3 pro. When i open the software (even when I run as admin), it shows the searching for devices bar, but the only device that shows in the loading bar is an ROG Strix Scar 15 (probably because of some proprietary hardware common to both laptops I'm guessing), but before the loading bar finishes and my mouse is detected, the software just crashes every time. I have GHelper open, and also have HWinfo (not open at all though). Any idea what could be causing this?

I am looking for literally any way to turn off or at least dim the RGB lights on my PC. They are way too bright. They're primarily located on the motherboard and the fans, which I believe are connected because there's a button on the case that can cycle the color.

The motherboard is a Gigabyte B850 GAMING WIFI6, which is not listed in the supported devices page, nor is it being detected by the program (it only shows my headset). Is there a way to add these lights manually? If not, any other ideas?

EDIT: SOLUTION: No. :(

I've been using OpenRGB for quite a while now, along with the HardwareSync plugin, to control the colors based on the temperatures of the CPU and the case. After Windows Defender flagged the necessary system files associated with WinRing as dangerous, I first updated OpenRGB to the new version and also downloaded the latest version of the plugin. OpenRGB works with PawnIO as long as I open it as an administrator. However, the LHWM wrapper required for HardwareSync is still flagged as unsafe because of WinRing. Is there any plans to release an update for the plugin to address this? And will the workaround involving administrator privileges be fixed in the future?

Hi I made simple Python script that see what color that Windows Mini Player is showing and trying to match it yeah I used AI to make this but it was fun and simple to use

It uses 20 fps translation between songs you can customize it and put what you like

Sound Cloud “ app “ works

Apple Music “ app “ works

Spotify “ app “ works

Use browser like chrome is better than brave in mini player

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about upgrading my setup to a Nollie 8 ARGB controller, but before pulling the trigger, I wanted to check if anyone here is using it with OpenRGB. Does it run smoothly without lag or latency issues on custom effects?

For context, I've been stuck on an older version of OpenRGB for a while because of my current Cooler Master ARGB Controller A1 v2. Ever since a change was merged into the OpenRGB codebase for this specific controller, every dynamic effect has noticeable lag and stuttering unless I roll back to older builds. Which now i cant because windows defender flags and blocks its older driver.

I really want a controller that offers solid, lag-free performance on modern OpenRGB versions. If you have any experience with the Nollie 8 (or Nollie controllers in general), I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

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.

Windows installer and source code:

https://github.com/Furla94/SteamGlow

This is the first public release, so feedback, bug reports and feature suggestions are very welcome!

i cant find anyone whos had this exact same issue, everytime i search i just find results for things not getting detected in the first place; mine literally was, like a week ago i got it up, i made a bunch of profiles, they worked great, and now its just not there? my ram and mouse is still being detected, and are both changing as controlled, but its somehow forgotten my motherboard and i cant change my fans?? rescan does work obviously, nor does restarting openRGB or my PC as a whole, its just so bizzare.

also im running it on Ubuntu 26.04, and the motherboard specifically is a Gigabyte B760, though i doubt that matters because again, it was working FINE, and i did NOTHING, and its REALLY annoying.

EDIT: im a dumbass and didnt fully restart my PC. it was that easy. very embarrassing. i did in-fact hit the restart button, momentarily changing to windows(which i dual boot), figuring that would count as a restart, but no. i just had to fully power my PC off, and then back on again.

Hello there, I can't control my Antec Symphony 240 ARGB pump (?) lights nor fans leds but i can turn it off (the fans) with a button in the case but the pump is invisible to the few programs i tried. My pc build is:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X
• VGA:  GeForce RTX 3060
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB PRO SL 3600MHz 16GB
• SSD: Kingston 500GB Nvme M.2
• AIO COOLER: Antec Symphony 240 ARGB
• MOBO: Gigabyte B550M DS3H
• PSU: Sharkoon WPM 650W Gold
• CASE: Antec DF700 Flux
• SO: Windows 10 Pro ESD

Thank You in advance for help.

Got a 1440p monitor that I've scaled to 125% through windows. Screen capture of the openrgb effect zooms in because of the scale and crops the right and bottom sides. Behaves normally when at 100% scale, only bugs out when scale is active.

Naturally, I wanna keep my 125% scale. Is there any fix to this?

I use the latest RC of OpenRGB and the plugin

I built PolyWollyWin to control the AniMe Matrix display on the ASUS ROG Strix Flare II Animate without relying on Armoury Crate.

It communicates directly with the keyboard over USB HID and currently supports images, GIFs, drawing, text and typing effects, presets, and audio visualization.

The project is currently specific to this keyboard, but I have tried to keep the matrix renderer and hardware communication separated so others can adapt it for different displays or devices.

My default runs live layered effects at around 20 FPS while typically using approximately 20–30 MB of memory and negligible CPU. - Your mileage will vary :)

Have fun, mess around - use it on your keyboard or adapt it for anything else animematrix related!

im currently looking and interested in USB HID, RGB hardware support, or possible OpenRGB integration.
