My thinking is that when you open up to allow plugins to be made, what I'm proposing could be a 3rd party plugin someone makes (possibly myself). One only has so many keys they can spare for that purpose.Īnd then there's this: (you would probably consider hacky) It's also very sad that iCUE doesn't allow key combos to map to that. Then if something could do that keypress for that profile when the wallpaper is loaded. One way to do it that shouldn't break is through assigning keys to switch to a profile in iCUE. It is very unfortunate (I think) that Corsair has made it difficult to switch profiles programmatically. I get that the user base would likely be very small. I'd just really like to be able to use existing profiles as well. I have so many that fit perfect with my favorite wallpapers.

It's just that hand-created profiles can't really be beat in terms of the lighting effects. I did not mean to be rude, I do sincerely apologize. We could consider adding more "override light settings" into the app but the development overhead for these things tends to be rather large and the user base that benefits from it would be rather small - these are things we need to take into consideration. My suggestion is to simply turn off the iCUE lighting for wallpapers were it looks bad and fall back to the currently running iCUE profile. There may be some "hacky" ways to achieve this but we tend to stay away from solutions like that because they can break with any iCUE update and in the worst case cause crashes for all iCUE users of Wallpaper Engine, so that's a big no-no from our end from a quality point of view. As far as I know, Corsair leaves loading profiles up to the user mostly and there is no neat way to find them all and change them properly. The iCUE SDK does not actually support loading profiles through another app.

The feature does not necessarily make sense for all wallpapers, I agree, but in those cases most users tend to just turn off the lighting for that specific wallpaper in the wallpaper settings and let iCUE fall back to its currently configured profile. Calling the LED plugin "extremely lackluster" is pretty rude, we have spent hundreds of hours on it and worked very closely with Corsair when developing and maintaining it, there's much more going on behind the hood than you might think.
