Logitech G15/G19 Applet problem

Post by Sharkenstein »

Please forgive me if this has already been addressed but I cannot find any info on the forums. I am using Logitech G19s keyboard. I use the standalone version of Core Temp, 64bit on Windows 10 Pro. Whenever I use the latest version of Core Temp, the Applet Window on the keyboard still shows the icon for the previous version. For example - I have the applet icons for Core Temp 1.0 RC9, Core Temp 1.1, Core Temp 1.2 and Core Temp 1.3 all showing as available applets. This also shows on my G13 Pad. I have tried uninstalling the Logitech software and deleting profiles before reinstalling but this has no effect. I did try installing the standard version of Core Temp and this put another Core Temp 1.3 icon in the G19 applets window. Uninstalling this through windows uninstall did remove this icon though. It seems the standalone version puts the icon and does not update when a newer version of Core Temp is used. Please could you advise me how to remove the old version icons in the G19s applet selection window and just have the single current version there for selection? Thanks very much.

It's possible that the Logitech software monitors for installed applications, and when you uninstall one, it removes it from the list.
I haven't really dealt with the G15 applet in many years now, but from what I can remember there used to be a way to remove the available applets manually.
I don't remember how do that now, but I'm pretty sure it was there in the past. But then I haven't really checked it in about 3-5 years, as I don't have this type of keyboard. I used the emulator in Logitech's software to make this applet.

Hah, you know you're in trouble when the person that wrote the program can't even tell you how to clean out the old applets. I have the same problem; right now there are 7 CoreTemp applets. The problem seems to be that each time a new version of CoreTemp is released, the name of the applet changes, so rather than overwriting it is being added as a new applet. I have been unable to find any location on the HDD, so it's likely somewhere in the registry.

You are probably right, it's most likely somewhere in the registry, or encoded in one of the applications configuration files.
Starting with the next release the Applet title will be changed to "Core Temp", without the version number, so this means you will stop getting duplicate/dead applets when new versions are released.

Cheers, hopefully that fixes it. I'll see if I can locate the old version entries in the registry, otherwise I'll try the Logitech forum and update here if I find a solution.

If anyone else is looking for this config like I was, it's in %localappdata%\Logitech\Logitech Gaming Software\settings.json. It's in a language called JSON. Exit the Logitech Gaming Software before editing it, or the software will overwrite your changes. Open it in a text editor and find the "lcd"\"applets" section:

Code: Select all

  "lcd" : 
  {
    "applets" : 
    {
There's a section like this for each applet in the settings window:

Code: Select all

      "7e6c" : 
      {
        "appPath" : "C:/Program Files/Core Temp/Core Temp.exe",
        "autostartable" : false,
        "format" : 0,
        "iconPath" : "",
        "name" : "Core Temp 1.4"
      },
If you've updated to Core Temp 1.5, which no longer includes version numbers in the name, you can delete all of the sections like that which mention Core Temp and include a version number, leaving just "Core Temp" (and your other applets). Note down the ID numbers of those sections you delete (e.g. 7e6c), as you also need to delete references to them from the next section ("devices" : ). Make sure the "foregroundapplet" : "e2a2" doesn't refer to the ID of something you've just deleted (change it to one of the other ones). Save the file, restart the LGS and you should only have one version of Core Temp listed.

Thanks for the guide.
I was wondering, a long time ago Logitech had an LCD emulator in their software, since I don't have a G series keyboard, I used that to develop this applet.
In a later version they removed it. Is it available in the current release?

Thanks for the update. I have no idea why I didn't find that file. BTW, be sure to exit the Logitech Gaming Software before editing the file.

Not sure if it's the same as the emulator you used, but an emulator is available, yes: Settings > Developer > Launch LCD Emulator, in the latest version.
