Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Hello @seerge. Firstly, a huge thanks for making this wonderful tool. I was wondering if an additional OLED burn-in prevention feature can be implemented directly into ghelper.

Thank you for considering this request, and keep up the great work!

Describe the solution you'd like

Here is a relevant project for reference. A similar or better implementation would be great!

Device and Model

Asus Zephyrus G16

I have another question, and I'm not sure if I should open a new thread. According to the settings shown below, the backlit keyboard lights up when I try to boot my device initially, but it turns off after I log into the system, which is expected behavior.

However, if I turn off all the options as shown below, the keyboard won’t light up during startup, which is fine, but it also makes the function + backlight up/down keys non-functional until I turn on the awake option.

Is it possible to prevent the keyboard from lighting up during power on while also preserving the functionality of toggling the brightness with the function + backlight keys after I log into the system?

@spike0en hello,

I'm not a big fan of overloading app with features you can achieve somehow else. Armoury Crate also don't move windows as the project you linked.

I personally usually have windows maximized so that won't give any benefits. But you can use that app if you want of course next to G-Helper.

As "Oled fetures" Armoury offers only options to make Taskbar transparent or auto-hide it. Both of them can be simply toggled in windows settings directly as well.


As for your backlight question. Backlight toggles under Extra are separate from backlight brightness (they also exist in AC). And when backlight is turned OFF completely - brightness won't work :) This is how it works on firmware level.

Thank you for the prompt reply and for clarifying my question. I really appreciate it!
