Automatically close on exit #4

Awesome job, I've pointed the Photoshop shortcut to your program and it works fine, however it'd be cool if it could close automatically. Since there's no real need to have it loaded after Photoshop has quit, would it be possible to add that? I'm going to guess designing it as a wrapper in the same way as ENB is for Skyrim is either very hard or impossible.

Also, just a couple of other things - the square brackets change brush size but you've not marked them as hotkeys, and the second time I tried it, the numpad keys would only assign black, even if they were lit up with colours (not sure what caused it though - worked again after relaunching).

Out of curiosity, how did you actually integrate it into Photoshop (and Stardew Valley for that matter)? Not really looked into it, but I thought the Chroma stuff had to be added in the actual source code

I haven't had a chance to look at pushing out an update for this in a while, but adding an automatic close wouldn't be too hard so I'll consider it for a future update.

Razer Chroma SDK is used to send lighting commands to the devices; the code can be put in a bridging app (such is the case here) and reads gaming, application or other windows memory/API endpoints, plugins, etc. and bridge the code over to RGB commands. They're a lot of documentation on their Chroma Developer page.

As for Photoshop, it has a COM API built into it which allows you to code plugins, etc. with all of the Adobe apps.
