      Lets get the specs out of the way
      Pi 4 4gb overclocked 2.250
      Retropie updated yesterday
      Led setup is
      Yahboom rgb cooling hat w/dogweather python 3 scripts
      Led shim
      Blinkt
      C4 labs galaxy led layer (obscure part, but id suggest getting it while you can)

      I am able to control when and how the lights change on all devices using crontab and runcommandonstart/end but what id like to do is have it set up to change them set by system, or even game. Im getting better with coding, but this is a bit over my skill level, i use a loading video script that could do what im talking about but a) i pulled it out of a 3rd party image and it just kept working and b) idk how to change it to run a python3 script instead of/in the background of a system splash video. Any help would be greatly appreciated
      EDIT: the lights are not on controls like buttons and joysticks. I built them into my case

          @lolonois i know i mix them up lol honestly its one of the hats, it has the green value placed where blue should be in the python code so i made a note to remember it that way. As long as i got the 3 colors covered its pretty obvious lol ty for the reply ill check into them and see if they help
