[https://openrgb.org/ OpenRGB] is a powerful open-source software for controlling RGB lighting on various computer components and peripherals. It provides a unified interface for managing RGB devices from different manufacturers, eliminating the need for multiple proprietary software solutions. With OpenRGB, users can <strong>customize</strong> their PC's lighting effects, <strong>synchronize</strong> colors across devices, and create <strong>dynamic</strong> lighting profiles. This tool is particularly useful for users who want to maintain full control over their system's RGB lighting without relying on closed-source applications.

It is recommended to have both services.hardware.openrgb.enable = true; and the package installed (either openrgb or openrgb-with-all-plugins)</div>

~~add to <code>/etc/nixos/configuration.~~nix~~</code>:~~

==== Using nix-shell ====

~~services.hardware.~~openrgb~~.enable = true;~~

nix-shell -p openrgb

</syntaxhighlight>

~~No need to add OpenRGB to systemPackages.~~

==== Using Global Configuration ====

environment.systemPackages = [

pkgs.openrgb

];

</syntaxhighlight>After modifying your configuration, apply the changes by running:<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">

sudo nixos-rebuild switch

</syntaxhighlight>

== ~~Plugins~~ ==

==== Using Home Configuration ====

home.packages = [

pkgs.openrgb

];

</syntaxhighlight>After updating your configuration, apply the changes by running:<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">

home-manager switch

</syntaxhighlight>

~~Currently there is no functioning option to install individual plugins, but there is a way to install all of them~~.

== Configuration ==

==== Basic ====

services.hardware.openrgb.enable = true;

</syntaxhighlight>
