    Description:
    An upcoming new feature for Windows 11 would allow users to control RGB lighting settings on their PC gaming devices.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    The days of having several programs installed on your computer for RGB
    devices may be coming to an end. The latest public test build of Windows 11 seems to have software that allows users to directly control RGB settings through the OS itself.

    First found by Twitter user Albacore and reported on by The Verge , the settings interface includes options for controlling brightness, lighting effects, speed, and colors theres even an option for matching RGB lighting
    to the Windows color palette. By allowing users to augment their own lighting through the OS, there would no longer be any need to download programs from device manufacturers to change those settings.

    Full-screen third-party widgets are also coming to Windows 11, as they were included in an OS build from the Insiders Program back in September 2022.
    What does this mean for PC users?

    Though RGB lighting is visually appealing and can make typing at night much easier, having to download bloatware software for each and every PC gaming device can be annoying.

    And while Windows 11 can be divisive, these new settings would clean up so much wasted space. Hopefully, if this turns out to be successful enough, Microsoft will consider expanding these options to changing HPI and polling rates in the best gaming mouse , programming macros for the best gaming keyboard , and other settings currently restricted to manufacturer programs.

    Combined with the third-party widgets feature thats still being developed,
    its nice to see Microsoft testing out popular features that would improve the Windows 11 experience. Heres hoping this will be a lasting trend from the
    tech giant.
