Very neat. It would be interesting to know if there is a only-software way to use the available lights on every laptop (battery, wifi indicators) as email notifiers. Do you think that this would be possible?
- iuguy 16y agoIt should be doable, certainly for things like caps lock etc. Something like this (http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/XPSLightFX.aspx http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/XPSLightFX.aspx) might be up your street.
- cnvogel 16y agoDepending on your laptop model, there are a few LEDs that can be controlled, at least under Linux. IBM and ASUS seem to use stuff in /proc/acpi/asus|ibm ... The SD-Card interface in my Laptop exports a LED in /sys/class/led... (but it seems not to be connected to anything). So there is often one or the other thing installed, but how to control them differs.
