Unified RGB software?

ROBOCRIPPLE

With so many proprietary RGB software for different brands of computer hardware with RGB lighting, I say we're currently living in the Dark Ages of RGB lighting (pun intended?). I heard the Linux community is developing a unified, open standard for RGB products (is it true, or just a rumor?). But while I was looking for a way to control my Corsair LL-series fans via ASUS AURA (though I prefer the other way around), I've found an app called Jacknet RGB Sync. I attempted to install it, but Windows Defender SmartScreen halted me from doing so. Should I install it? Is it any good?

 

When I have iCUE and CAM enabled at startup, ASUS AURA won't work properly; I can't open the app and the G.SKILL TridentZ memory modules stay at the default rainbow scrolling animation. If I have those two apps disabled at startup, AURA works properly and the TridentZ memory light up in the way I configured them to. Then, if I want my RGB lighting settings for my Corsair LL-series fans, I would have to open iCUE myself. It kinda sucks, but I guess I can live with it.

Just use Aura to control the trident Z colors.

OK, now AURA won't work properly even after I disable iCUE and CAM at startup. If I want to set them up I have to reboot the system from the BIOS settings. 

 

I had enough of this crap. Back to the 2000s I go... "RGB? Gay!" :(

I agree we need a universal RGB controller software. The current situation is ridiculous.
