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.
And as a birthday gift to me, Triscopic, SirReal has allowed me to announce the release of this new version.
Here is a list of some of the things that are new:
What’s new in LCDHost alpha 13:
- Fix: Now base64 encodes binary data in the XML layout file.
- Fix: Build device identifiers from USB HID/VID data rather than device file names.
- Fix: Input subsystem has gotten a much-needed overhaul
- Fix: Prevent RSS items from sending Open URL requests too fast.
- Fix: Still showed garbage characters at end of program name in LCD Manager.
- Fix: Sometimes when loading a layout, stored values would get mixed up between instances.
- Fix: The System tab’s inbound and outbound network wasn’t in MBit.
- Fix: Text now renders at 96 dpi no matter what the system default is.
- Fix: Several minor fixes.
- Some tweaks to how zooming and panning works in the Layout tab.
- The textual network data rate now includes the unit (for example B/s or bit/s)
- Bars can now use images instead of just gradient fills.
- Bars can now use sliding alpha transparency to create tapered ends.
- Ability for plugins to change the loaded layout (plugins to do this coming soon)
- The obsolete plugins LH_QScript, LH_CPU and LH_Network have been removed.
- The SignLibrary tool is now included in the distribution.
- You can finally map the LCD keys as you would any others.
- Triscopic’s Eos layout is now included.
- Several of Triscopic’s excellent* plugins have been bundled.
