Acer RGB GUI for facer.py

A GUI to interact with the acer-predator-turbo-and-rgb-keyboard-linux-module Acer Predator RGB kernel module from JafarAkhondali

The keyboard lights in action

A look at the front-end application

This application was created to help users control their keyboard lights in a user-friendly way. This is a Linux only application designed for users of Arch Linux. This was created to solve the problem there being no programs to control acer keyboards on Linux.

Installation

Dependencies

The GUI requires Linux Headers, Python, Tkinter and CustomTkinter to run.

yay -S customtkinter
