A GUI of some sort

As the title says, I think it would be nice to have a GUI for this. Not a super advanced one, but one that you could just open up and configure easily instead of running a command every time.

You might be able to base it off of the MSI gaming app as it would be pretty easy to make something like that in GTK: image

It would be fairly difficult to provide anything more than text fields and buttons in a way such that all the functionality is exposed.

I would like something like this. even if it was a text box to make it slightly easier doing testing on this.

maybe somthing like this? (super simple design) drawing

would there be a way to show what the output might look like as well? like have a output window on the side as well?

Use the fork, Luke. (and then pull request)

It should easily configure the rgb frame buffers and also allow external sync sources (CPU, Temp, etc)

I'd be interested in some sort of basic gui. At the very least, I'm needing a much better understanding of how to use your tool, I'm having a hell of a time making things happen so far.

It seems to me that a GUI would be outside the scope of this project. You know the old unix philosophy "do exactly one thing and do it well".

I think the path of least resistance would be to script out a GUI in Python and Tkinter that just execs the binary to make changes. Probably use PolicyKit to handle the permissions.

Plus if the GUI were a separate project, it could support different backends for different mobos.
