🎨⚙️ Framework Hub Devlog (January 11, 2025)🔧
🕑 Added 2025-01-11 15:11:33 +0000 UTCToday I focused on improving the GPU detection and display system in Framework Control Center. Here are the key changes:
✨ New Features:
Implemented dynamic dGPU detection using LibreHardwareMonitor
Added automatic UI adaptation based on hardware presence
The dGPU monitoring section now only appears when a discrete GPU is actually present in the system
🎨 UI Improvements:
Fixed visual inconsistencies in the monitoring section
Removed unnecessary background from the dGPU metrics to match other hardware stats
Ensured seamless integration with the existing monitoring layout
Maintained the clean, modern look of the interface
🔍 Technical Details:
Continued to implement Intel CPU support and tweaking profiles
( I only have a 165H, so if you have any profiles to share with me, tell me everything about it 🙏)
Added a new `HasDiscreteGpu()` method to detect AMD, Intel and Nvidia GPUs
(If Framework add one in the future)Improved error handling for hardware detection
Optimized the UI update process to handle dynamic hardware changes
Integrated with the existing debug settings system
🎯 Benefits:
Cleaner interface for users without a dGPU
More accurate hardware representation
Better user experience with automatic hardware detection
Reduced visual clutter
📦 Project Management:
Created a private GitHub repository for better version control
(I'll give you access to it later)Set up the initial project structure with proper .gitignore
Implemented best practices for C# and Avalonia development
Prepared the groundwork for future collaboration and code sharing
💬 Community:
Launched the official Discord server for better community interaction
Integrated Patreon roles with Discord for automatic permission management
(You just need to link your Discord account with your Patreon account to get invited)Created dedicated channels for log sharing and troubleshooting, a pub for random discussions,...
If you want to be a Moderator, you can send me a message on Discord 👮
Can you tell me if you'd like to have a "Wiki" Where I can add some informations about the Framework Control Center ?
These changes make Framework Control Center more adaptable to different Framework Laptop configurations, whether they include a discrete GPU or not. The app now intelligently shows only the relevant information for your specific hardware setup.
Next up:
I'll work on fine-tuning the defaults profiles for 7640U and 7840U ( if you have some profiles you want to share with me, tell me everything about it 😊).
I'll also try to find-out about a bug HansDerKrieger found with WallpapersEngine where the Gui flickers when using certain wallpapers.
As always, thank you for your continued support! 🙏
