LCDHost Alpha 14

For anyone new to LCDHost, LCDHost is a compositing plugin manager for LCD’s. It’s primarily targeted towards the Logitech G19, but it will work with the G13 and G15 too.

The screenshot on the right is one of many user created layouts – this one is for the game X3: Terran Conflict and is designed by Triscopic. You can download that layout in the forum.

What’s new in LCDHost alpha 14:

  • Dev: LH_QtPlugin.(cpp|h) split up into LH_QtPlugin and LH_QtInstance, project file modification needed.
  • Dev: Setup item help added, recompile needed.
  • Dev: SignLibrary argument ordering changes; use ‘SignLibrary -?’ for usage.
  • Dev: Instance name gets passed to plugin – contructors need looking over.
