More RGB!

This is a little side project that is probably out of scope from what I normally do but I thought I would share it here anyway to let people know I am still alive and doing things outside of work. I have a mostly Corsair driven system and I noticed that Corsair's iCUE does not support coloring Motherboard LED headers, at least not for my motherboard specifically. The main problem is iCUE doesn't offer an API for this either, but I did notice that they started partnering with some ASUS products to allow driving those RGB devices, and they had plugins in the iCUE directory, so I went down the rabbit hole of decoding their plugin communications and using OpenRGB to do the heavy lifting of talking to the hardware. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like within iCUE:

Here is a link to my Reddit post going into slightly more detail.

My GitHub ReadMe goes into more detail of how to use the plugin and what you need alongside it.

I shifted over from Thermaltake RGB everything to EKWB Vardar ARGB to sync everything together since only the motherboard can be controlled by itself. I'm impressed with the beauty of the Corsair fans though, so good job! I'm sure this will be appreciated by the owners of them.
