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 from Ender91’s new layout.

does this cost and if so how much?
From the FAQ:
I’m spending literally thousands of hours designing, writing and testing LCDHost, and I think it’s only fair I get something back for that. I haven’t yet decided how (money, advertising) or how much LCDHost will cost, but it will probably be around five to ten pecent of the price of a Logitech G19, whatever that turns out to be once LCDHost is done.
That said, while it’s still in it’s alpha state (meaning it’s not yet feature complete), it will be free but the program will stop working two months after it’s build date.
Hey, I’m loving this app on my G19, great job.
When does the next release come out as it expires today 🙁
Unless something comes up, it’ll be out before midnight. All these last second bugs are starting to annoy me.
