Mystic Light Browser Cinema

Extension for Chromium-based browsers (Chromium, Chrome, Vivaldi, Edge, Yandex.Browser) that allows to disable lighting effects of your Mystic Light compatible (mostly comes under MSI trademark) RGB peripherals and components on event when browser enters fullscreen mode.

Works only with installed Mystic Light and companion app on Windows

 

Why?

Having gaming peripherals and components with fancy RGB led feels great, but it might become annoying while you are trying to watch movies or youtube videos. This extension just allows to automatically disable lighting of these devices when browsers enters fullscreen mode. When browsers leaves fullscreen your device settings will restore to previous state before fullscreen event.

 

 

 

Is my device supported?

• check your device info - if there any mention of "Mystic Light" then most likely it is supported
• you can check the Mystic Light compatible products
• if you have installed "Dragon Center" or "MSI Center" app you will see your device on the Mystic Light tab if it is supported

Caveats

• Supports only Windows
• Changing device state not through Mystic Light app wont be detected by the extension and that will mess up the lighting for you. So prefer to change light effects only through MSI app.
• Only default %ProgramData% location is supported. E.g. C:\\ProgramData
