I don't even bother.

LCDSirReal is what I currently use.  has support for winamp, speedfan, cpu-z, fraps, etc.

I used to use WVS, which has an awesome little "disco light mode" for the keyboard:

Logitech G15 Winamp Visual System at 7luke.com

I stoped using it because it started to crash winamp, and because it was really unpractical for me. I.E. the song title text would scroll WAY TO DAMN SLOW to be even useful (as you can see), and all the system information stuff was all on seperate pages which was mostly useless to me (I don't want to have to scroll through 10 pages just to see my CPU usage for example and have to navigate from the music page). But boy, was it a flashy plugin that's for sure.

If you just want the music functionality and the blinking lights I suggest using Ray's G15 plugin. It only supports winamp but it's generally bloat free and displays song titles in a much more practical way than what WVS does.

I haven't touched LCDSirReal in months, not since I found it had a gigantic memory leak.

Has it been updated in the last 9 months?


Re: Recommended applets for G15? - KorJax - 09-06-2010

No clue, I didn't think it has a memory leak. I certainly don't feel like my computer slows down to a crawl when I use it even if it has been running all day.

How is it with a Ctrl key that's not squared off?

I normally press my ctrl key with the bottom knuckle of my left pinky finger, instead of moving a finger to it to press, and I'm wondering if the smaller non-quared ctrl key would even be pressable for me the way it's shaped.


Re: Recommended applets for G15? - HeK - 09-06-2010

I have the classic blue G15 with the bonus macro buttons.
I had no problems with the CTRL key, but it took me two weeks to get the hang of the +20% key spacing.


Huge keyboard is XBOX HUEG!


With LCDSirReal, I was hitting leaks over 1.5GB. Mind you, I don't shutdown my PC, ever.


Re: Recommended applets for G15? - KorJax - 09-06-2010

Hmm well I tend to shut down my PC if I am not going to be using it for more than 3 or so hours at a time. That might prevent any memory leaks, if there are any, from being noticeable on my end.

It would.

Most leaks take a semi-considerable time to show, one of my sidebar gadgets leaks like a bitch, last bad one I noticed it was sucking up 2.3GB of RAM. Takes 'bout 3 days to get that bad though.
