    Is there a way to change my keyboard backlight color per the program I'm using? i.e Green keyboard when i play Fallout, red when i play Doom. I think I saw a way to do it a while ago, as I was searching for something else, involving changing some coding.

    I haven't seen anything in the control panel to do that before. I think you are right though, that it would require some programming to make that happen. There are some older links about this. I've never tried this myself, so maybe someone here might have an idea if it works or not. But these were a couple links that I saw.

    I tried the download link and i have a new shortcut for it on my desktop but when i click on it nothing happens. You mentioned it was older, maybe it doesn't work with Win10

    It's very possible that it might not work. It's not something supported by Clevo, and user made (it looks like), so there may be compatibility issues.

    I don't think even more advanced softwares like SSE and CUE can do that. (though if that's wrong, I'm happy to be corrected).
