Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

1. I've noticed that some color modes supported by my laptop are currently inactive. The model that I have, has per-key keyboard illumination with extra modes that can be enabled in Armoury Crate.

Describe the solution you'd like

I've tried compiling the app with modified code (changing isStrixLimitedRGB), and all modes function except for heatmap and ambient.

It would also be great to have an option to enable "random colors" for modes that currently lack it, such as breathing, star, rain, highlight, laser, ripple, stroboscopic, comet, or flash.

and if you want to see the changes in a repo I forked this one, here is the link:

or if you prefer here is the build that I made:

@fram446742 hello, you don't really need to modify any code for that.

Unfortunately your model (G513RM) exists in both per-key and 4-zone versions, so it's not possible to automatically detect what modes to show. By default it would be limited list.

You can just add following line to config.json

"per_key_rgb" : 1,

And it should threat your device as per-key RGB :)

Thank you very much. I didn't know that that config would work in this case. I'll give it a try.

[fram446742]

Sorry for the inconvenience, but I added it and it doesn't seem to change anything.

I added it, tryed deleting the files so new ones were generated and obviously used the original version, not mine.

This is what my version shows:

@fram446742 can you try this build ?

GHelper.zip

[fram446742]

It does work, thanks. What is the difference with the one that is posted on the releases page?

[seerge]

@fram446742 it was 2 separate flags

• Limited RGB affecting what modes are available in a dropdown
• 4-zone RGB (opposite to per-key RGB) - affecting how exactly app would set dynamic backlight colors for Ambient / Heatmap

In new build I have just extended per_key_rgb setting effect on both options (as it should be probably)

Closing as resolved then.
