In case you don't like Aurora, there are free open-source alternatives to Aurora.
While Artemis is a much more advanced and cross-platform, it is currently missing some game integrations (GSI games).

|---|---|---|
| Artemis | * Advanced animations * Linux support (work in progress) |
It is significantly harder to use but can be more powerful Many features alrady included in Aurora can be found by adding plugins. |
Project Aurora is a utility that unifies RGB lighting devices across different brands and enables them to work alongside each other, all while adding and improving RGB lighting support for various games that previous had none or little RGB lighting support. Aurora is mainly written in C#, but has C++ components to implement native support for other games.
Have a look at our website for a better look at Aurora and its features!

If you're a developer or just a software user you can help the project by:
- Opening an issue to report any bugs you experience (please see if an issue already exists before opening an issue)
- Trying to find where the problem lies with a particular issue (regardless of your skill level, information is always helpful)
- Fixing issues, if you spot an issue you think you can fix, please make a fork and submit a pull request that solves the issue. Any contributions are welcome!
- Right now we don't have a very fixed code styling due to the amount of inconsistency in the project. At some point I'm going to go through and make it all consistent, but it'll probably be CamelCase or a slight variation of it that'll be used.
