I've just updated to v1.6.0 and noticed that any time FanControl boots, the RGB setting on my pump gets reset to its default value. I've noticed #144 so unsure if its related or not.

Hi @jflevesque, yes, that change was related to #144 and an enhancement is being tracked in #170 to add the ability to specify which default lighting preset it gets reset to (instead of a solid color). In the meantime, you would need to use SignalRGB to have effects or customize the default solid color lighting using the FANCONTROL_CORSAIRLINK_DIRECT_LIGHTING environment variables.

With #170, will that remove the need to use SignalRGB?

EvanMulawski commented

Yes. Are you using the default rainbow effect or something else?

I'm using a simple static color

Oh, then you can just set it using the Windows environment variables right now. For example, this will set the static color to red at 50% brightness:

Name Value
FANCONTROL_CORSAIRLINK_DIRECT_LIGHTING_DEFAULT_RGB 255,0,0
FANCONTROL_CORSAIRLINK_DIRECT_LIGHTING_DEFAULT_BRIGHTNESS 50

To set these values, start Run or Command Prompt and run rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditEnvironmentVariables. Alternatively, use the setx command.

You must restart Fan Control after changing these values.

Thx, that works very well!
