Is it possible to add support for changing GE66 front of the chassis colours?
Keyboard colour changing works fine. I only wish, there would be more presets to choose from and gui for that.

Def possible just that the we need the USB vendor ID and product ID from the device and a sample of the presets.
Sorry, but is that something I can help and give? I not really understand, how all this works, so sorry for dumb question.

Try running lsusb in terminal and pasting the output here so I can see at least the vendor Id and product if. As for the color effects using wireshark on Windows and having the steel series program opened while you are changing colors/modes for the device.
It's very possible that the chassis LED use a completely different interface than the RGB controller of the keyboard. In that case there's not much I can do.

Well we can reverse engineer it and assuming it's on a different interface, hopefully HiD, we could see how steel series communicates with the bar. The only issue is that I do not own a gs/ge 66 so that might be of a challenge to do.

If getting presets need windows, that's a bit more challenging, because I deleted windows. I guess, virtual machine won't work in this case, right?

Looks like this is the HID interface for the chassis.

You could try to see if virtual machine would work but I am not sure if you can bypass the HID device to virtual machine.
Edit: Looking at the way how the app interacts wit the light bar it seems to almost have the same effects as msi keyboard but I am not sure if the protocol is the same.
