Microsoft is preparing to add built-in RGB lighting controls to Windows 11, simplifying the process for fans of customizable lighting. This feature allows users to change the lighting effects of connected devices directly in Windows 11's Settings app, and the feature is currently hidden in the latest build released to Insiders in the Developer channel.
Currently, if you want to create a fully integrated setup with RGB lighting, your best bet is to purchase equipment from the same brand, as most companies offer their RGB lighting solutions. they and they are often incompatible between them. Also, it's always an extra download, which in itself can be troublesome. Integrating these controls into Windows itself could make things much easier, assuming device manufacturers agree to support the feature.
Starting with Windows 11 build 25295, released to Insiders earlier this week, you might start to see some of these features in the Settings app, but they're hidden for now. These features include the ability to choose its brightness level, lighting effects, speed, and color. There's even an option to match the color of the current Windows theme, in case you want to keep everything to a specific theme.
However, according to Windows Central, other settings are also being considered. For example, you can set a specific color light when you receive a notification, or have your device show a different color when you mute the microphone in a Teams meeting. Another potential option is audio visualization, which will sync the lighting effects with the sound coming from your PC.
The fact that this feature is still in development does not necessarily guarantee that it will become a reality in the near future, if at all. That being said, having the built-in RGB control experience is sure to be appreciated by many. It may end in one of the "Moment" updates later this year, but it's still early days to tell.
For now, if you're using the latest Insider version and want to see these options for yourself, you can use a tool like ViveTool or the more user-friendly ViveTool GUI to enable the receive count indicators. less structured form.
