Added:

  • New option "Minimize to system tray" (default active) so you can disable the icon in the system tray
  • ColorControl main window will automatically be focused when trying to run the program if it is already running
  • LG controller: added an option to automatically power off on screensaver and power on when screensaver deactivates. The power off is triggered by processes that end with ".scr" and only if that process is started by "winlogon", so it should work with most screensavers. Notes:
    -- If you manually start the screensaver, the tv will NOT power off immediately, but it will still power off when the normal screensaver activates. The "normal" screensaver still activates even when you already manually started one.
    -- When the tv is powered off by the screensaver and you remotely connect to the pc, ColorControl now tries to detect that the local user is absent and will not power on the tv. This may not work reliably just yet.
    -- If you manually turn off the tv, ColorControl will not try to turn it off when the screensaver activates and also will not try to power it on again when the screensaver stops
    -- This functionality also works when the lock screen is active (screensaver still activates)
    -- You must set up the screensaver like this. In this example, after 1 minute the tv will power off:

Fixed:

  • NVIDIA: reading the current color settings could cause an exception which prevented the program from running. If an exception occurs, the current color settings will all be displayed as default/Auto

Added:

  • Support for AMD graphics cards. Currently only color depth, pixel format, refresh rate, dithering and HDR is supported. Some settings will throw an error if using DVI/DP instead of HDMI. HDR is not tested (my old HD 7950 does not support HDR). More functionality will come later/by request.

Improved:

  • WOL now uses the new mechanism by default. You can still use the Npcap variant by enabling the "Use old WOL mechanism (Npcap)" under options.
  • Replaced the delay setting with retries setting for powering up (WOL) after startup/resume. Waking up the tv should now be more reliable, especially on resume.

Added:

  • Possibility to add WakeOnLan-message to steps of preset in LG controller. Note that if you add more steps in the same preset, the WOL-message will always be send first.

Note that this is not working perfectly yet due to time it takes for network connection to be established after resume/startup.

Added/improved:

  • Better error reporting if a Nvidia preset could not be applied completely
