LCDHost Alpha 12

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. Here is a list of some of the things that are new:

What’s new in LCDHost alpha 9 to 12:

  • Fix: Now looks for the imageformats folder under plugins.
  • LH_Text can now autoformat numbers into a convenient 4-character format.
  • Added network load (text) classes.
  • Added memory information classes.
  • Bars can now grow in any of the four cardinal directions.
  • Lua scripting has been added. Not fully complete, but usable. See the LH_Lua plugin.
  • CPU and network bars have moved from their old plugins into LH_Text and LH_Bar. You’ll need to update your existing layouts. I suggest selecting the instance and then using the ‘Class’ dropdown box to select the correct class.
  • Includes source for LH_Lua.
  • Fix: No longer reports a garbage name to Logitech 3.06 drivers.
  • WebKitServer stabilized for the new WebKit in Qt 4.7.0.
  • Added a CoreTemp textual class to LH_Text.
  • Fix: No longer crashes with recursive positional dependencies

Once Triscopic has finished his SpeedFan and FRAPS plugins, they’ll be available in the forum.
