LEDs not changing in mode 6 #24

When using mode 6, it seems the rest of the settings are just ignored. When the program starts with mode 6(temperature controlled) configured, it'll just show a yellowish-green color, no matter what color is defined in the settings and no matter what temperature the system runs on.

I'm running this on a MSI GTX 1060 Gaming 6G, tested the mode with Kombustor / Afterburner running to read and ramp up the temperature.

Okay, seems I figured that out myself. It were multiple things at once - first of all, it looks like the dragon LED won't give out full RGB but instead only green, yellow and red. I'm not sure if that's a limitation of the card or the program though.

Also, I had to set OverwriteSecurityChecks to true. That option lacks documentation on what it actually does, "disables device ID checking" is a little broad.

Lastly, I expected the mode to do something else, just when reading the code I realized this would go from green to red and not shift the brightness from 0 to 100% when the temperature changes, which would cooler for my general colour-scheme.
