How-To

Installed files — plugins, components, and effects

Edit

Add Git repos, import community files, and refresh lists after copying to AppData.

Your stuff, not the installer’s

Settings → Installed files shows what you added to your RGBJunkie user folder:

  • Plugins — device drivers (.js)
  • Components — layout JSON for fans, strips, cases
  • Effects — HTML effect files

What shipped with the installer doesn’t show here — only your additions and community downloads.

Install from GitHub or GitLab

  1. Paste a public GitHub or GitLab repo URL.
  2. Flip the repo On and pick a branch if it asks.
  3. RGBJunkie pulls .js and .json into the right folders.

Or click an Install in RGBJunkie button on the web — see App links.

Drop files in by hand

Open the folders from Installed files or App links, copy files in:

FolderFile types
plugins/.js, .mjs
components/.json
effects/.html, .htm

Then hit Refresh lists on the Installed files page.

After you add plugins or components

Rescan in the Devices panel so new hardware plugins actually load.

Tweaking plugins yourself? Settings → Engine → Hot-reload user plugins watches the folder while you edit. Turn it off when you’re done — no need to leave it on 24/7.

Import from another install

Installed files may offer import from a compatible third-party layout. Follow the on-screen steps — RGBJunkie walks you through it.
