Alternatives to missing OSD to show profile?

[Deamaed]

Hello Community,

Given that it appears the OSD will not be returning to Icue 4, I was hoping there were some suggestions as to what alternatives people have been using to know what profile they have switched to (if using the keyboard/mouse hotkeys) without opening Icue or clicking on the taskbar.

In my case usage, I have some profiles that have the same lighting but different buttons, or am using Wallpaper Engine.

Therefore, I can't always tell which profile I am in just by the lighting on the devices.  

This seems unfortunate, and for those with various key/button profiles, how are you determining what profile you are on?

I'm replying to my own topic, as I still am hesitant to upgrade to Icue 4 as my system general works though a few of the QOL items in Icue 4 would be nice.

I just can't use it without an OSD given my usage case (i.e. I'd like to know which profile I just changed to using the mosue/keyboard buttons).

I'm hoping there is some elegant solution to this if OSD isn't a feature being reintroduced into Icue4.

Thanks for this suggestion - I am just fiddling with it now.  I still see there is no way to have it pop up if/when you change the profile, but at least its fast way to check what you are without using the mouse to get to the taskbar app.

Does anyone know if Icue5 offers any visual notification of which profile you have switched, without Gamebar or clicking on the ICue taskbar item?
