OpenRGB provides an expansive plugin interface allowing a wide variety of additional functionality to be added by plugins. Plugins can add additional functionality to the OpenRGB user interface and take control of your OpenRGB devices to provide synchronized effects, use your RGB devices as indicator lights for hardware statistics, integrate with third party lighting control software, schedule OpenRGB lighting profile changes, and more.
Synchronize your setup with amazing effects
The OpenRGB Effects Plugin provides an extensive list of custom effects that can be synchronized across all devices that support Direct Mode. Many standard effects are available such as Rainbow, Visor, Breathing, and more. Advanced effects include several audio visualizations, Ambilight, GIF player, and a Shader renderer for using GLSL shaders as RGB effects.
Lay out your devices however you like
Normally, OpenRGB effects engines apply patterns one device at a time. With the Visual Map Plugin, you can combine one or more devices into a custom grid, allowing incredible effects to shine across your entire setup as one unified display.
Visualize system statistics with RGB
Want to keep an eye on your CPU and GPU temperatures while you're in game? The Hardware Sync Plugin will let you know if your temperatures are too high by changing the color of your RGB. Many more system parameters are supported as well, and multiple devices can indicate multiple measurements.
Integrate fan control into OpenRGB
Controlling all your RGB in one place is great, but what about your fan speeds? The Fan Sync Plugin takes care of that. Using the same backend as the Hardware Sync Plugin, the Fan Sync Plugin lets you map one or more system parameters to control fan speeds, including custom fan curves.
