Put custom graphics on your SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Base Station 128x64 OLED screen.
This utility implements the USB protocol, so you don't need SteelSeries GG/Engine Apps/GameSense, and it works on linux.
For Windows there is also a desktop application that shows the current time and currently playing media.
Bad Apple at 60 fps. This also showcases the burn-in you will get if not careful with OLEDs. The flickering is due to bad camera settings and not actually shown on the display.

Currently Windows only.
The application puts itself as an icon in the system tray that you can right-click to configure.
It gets media information from the Windows API which makes it work with almost all applications (with some limitations).
There are also features to avoid OLED burn-in that is otherwise unavoidable when using the official software, such as the screensaver function which will turn off the OLED display when away from the computer, or the OLED shifter which will infrequently move things around slightly. To extend the lifespan of your display, both of these are strongly recommended to use, along with using a low screen brightness.
It's recommended to use bitmap fonts to avoid weird artifacting, but any TTF or OTF font should work.
Modify the %appdata%\ggoled_app.toml file and add:
[font]
path = 'C:\Path\To\Font.ttf'
size = 16.0Then restart the application.
For Windows you can download the latest builds either from GitHub Actions or from nightly.link (direct download).
Otherwise, install the Rust toolchain and run: cargo install --git https://github.com/JerwuQu/ggoled.git
To run without root on linux you'll first need to copy 11-steelseries-arctis-nova.rules into /etc/udev/rules.d/ and run udevadm control --reload and udevadm trigger as root.
