Microsoft is about to integrate native controls for managing RGB lighting on computer devices like mouse and gaming keyboards into Windows 11.
As a result, you won't need to install third-party software from a device's maker, which is frequently problematic and might even have security problems. To make matters worse, you may occasionally need to install a new software to operate each item if you have gaming accessories with RGB lighting from many suppliers.
Currently under development, the new RBG lighting controls are a secret feature of Windows 11 build 25295 in the Windows Insider developer channel.
Albacore, a Windows fan, released numerous screenshots on Thursday showing how he initially came upon the function. "Build 25295 introduces new lighting control options for devices. Is this the beginning of the end for RGB gaming gear apps of poor quality? "Tweeted Albacore
"References to the functionality date back to 2018, according to the spec for it. In the end, not postponed."
You can use the ViVe tool provided by Albacore with the following instructions to reveal this secret feature:
vivetool /enable /id:35262205
vivetool /enable /id:41355275
New "ambient lighting controls" settings will become available under Settings > Personalization > Lighting once they have been enabled via ViVe.
All connected RGB devices that you can control are listed in this section, as illustrated below.
You can change the brightness, lighting effect, pace, and color of the illumination by selecting a supported device from the list.
As part of the lighting effects, the RGB illumination can be converted to a solid color, blink, rainbow, or rainbow (reverse).
Not to mention, you can set up the RGB lights on each supported device to correspond with the Windows accent color.
Additionally, Microsoft has not yet made an official announcement that Windows 11 Insiders can now test native RGB lighting support after installing the most recent releases, so there is no assurance it will be included in a final version of the operating system.
The new RGB lighting options, on the other hand, seem to be well along in the development process, suggesting it is likely a feature we will see in a forthcoming feature update.
The firm recently declared that it had begun testing support for multiple Notepad tabs and had at long last included a built-in screen recorder in Windows 11 via the Snipping Tool.
Redmond is also testing Windows 11 Task Manager live kernel memory dumps, which would be very helpful in identifying bugs and performance problems.
