1 year ago By the way, the "Lights and Grids" of Dell G5 5500 you have attached to the app seems not right.
Here is a copy of my own.
Current.csv
It should be like this:
Or else something might have go wrong when the app was saving the .csv file. Your version seems corrupted,

1 year ago When opening up the laptop lid, the lights won't automatically light up and I need to press Fn+AlienFX or press the Refresh button in AlienFX Control tray menu.
This is definitely not right. So i'll check how it can happen. Most interesting, i use this function too (and even have the same chip), and it works correct for me. The only difference, i have Windows 10.

1 year ago It was two bugs at once:
Here are the fix beta - alienfx-gui.zip, please check.

1 year ago I regret to say it was of little help. The problem still exists no matter the effect is monitoring or off. Mind you that my laptop was set to "do nothing" when close the lid. I have to keep a few programs running in background thus I can't let it sleep even in S0.
P.S.: I'm not a native English speaker, so plz don't mind if anything was messed up due to my poor English. If you get confused, just ask. : )

This is IMPORTANT information. Please share uncommon settings related to issue to save my time!

Neither me.
Ok... I Can't reproduce this issue at mine hardware and OS, BTW - screen stay on then i close the lid with "Do nothing". But i add lid state monitoring, and now it works correctly for me even if "Do nothing" selected (but it can provide issue for systems with 2+ monitors!). Check, please - alienfx-gui.zip

My bad. Hopefully my issue wouldn't take up your time too much. However you might have sent me the wrong file, this version does not do basic work like assigning colors for the lights. When opening this version, my light bar just stops working at once and the keyboard RGBs behave abnormally. Enclosed with two very short videos, which may help you understand my situation.

1 year ago And this shows what happened with the previous version.
My screen and lights would automatically go out and back according to the lid state when the app is quited.

1 year ago This can happen - it's a beta, i change some other things too.
But turn off SOME lights from the SAME device is a mystery, a bit...
Try this one, alienfx-gui.zip
BTW, check initial bug as well, it should be fixed.

1 year ago I see the improvement. Now the Keyboard light would light up automatically. But the light bar will not. As I've mentioned at the very beginning, I set the four Keyboard lights as indicator, in this way i can dim the light bar alone ( as i did not enable " Dim Power/Indicator lights" ). Maybe it has something to do with this.

1 year ago BTW, in very rare circumstaces that the light bar will stop working itself. I did many checks, including checking the cables inside the machine -- and I am quite sure it was a software problem. Restarting the app won't work, but rebooting the machine would. I will also keep a close watch on this, and report it when I think I've got more information about what will cause that to happen.

1 year ago No, it did not work. I thought it seemed to work only because the fan RPM and CPU temperature was changing when I open the lid. When the machine is in a more stable state ( several mins after booting ), it would not light up as I open the lid.

Enough. Please run alienfx-config backup and share afx-lights.reg and afx-gui.reg. I'm a bit tired to guess what else you forget to tell me.

This mean you configuration doing this. Default color is black or undefined (2nd, i guess, looking on test).

1 year ago It's kind of you to help me solve the issue, Here they are.
afx-gui.txt
afx-lights.txt
However during the backup process i received something like 3 "Operation successful" followed by an "Error: System cannot find the defined registry value."
I've got 3 files, not 4. But that seems irrelavant, right?

1 year ago Thanks. I check your settings, and i should say it works correct at mine hardware (which have the same chip). But i need to mention some (at Settings tab):
So.... Enable "Lights follow screen state" and disable "Keep power/indicator on". All should work correctly.

It's ok, seems like you never use aliefx-mon, so didn't have settings for it.
PS: South or North China?
Describe the bug When opening up the laptop lid, the lights won't automatically light up and I need to press Fn+AlienFX or press the Refresh button in AlienFX Control tray menu. This happens no matter "Lights follow screen state" is on or off.
Expected behavior Maybe the app can automatically Refresh the lights when it detected the screen is on... Just like how it detects when the screen is off.
System (please complete the following information):
Additional context I set the four zone of the keyboard as "indicator". In this way I can dim the light bar only. The effect is "Monitoring", the keyboard color changes with fan RPM, and light bar color changes with memory. When the lights are off when the screen is on and memory usage or fan RPM is changed, the lights will then light up. So I reckon that "an automatic Refresh when the screen is on" is needed.
