Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

So I found a report which mentions the heatmap colors:
int freeze (blue) = 20, cold (green) = 40, warm (yellow) = 65, hot (red) = 90;

However on my laptop the idle temps during light usage are around 55-60C, moderate usage would are around 70-75C and heavy usage is 80-90C, so the colors don't quite fit. I also figure it's different depending on the model.

Describe the solution you'd like

When using static or gpu mode, the color settings button does nothing, since it's responsible for other effects like static, strobing etc. Perhaps this button could be used to tweak the temperature range for each color of the heat map when in these modes?

Describe alternatives you've considered

Another thing that comes to mind is to separate the color setting for each keyboard mode. Green for static, yellow for strobing etc. like in AC. I guess it would be a necessary step in order to implement a functionality I described.

@Turbolqk hello,

Heatmap is not just 4 fixed colors, it's a gradient between them :) so in my opinion it's universal. Also along the idea to keep things simple.

Maximum I can propose - is to make these values editable via app config. Cause keeping all this in UI just for one (of many) backlight modes - is too much :)

@seerge hey,

That imo would be a nice addition. It sounds reasonable, since heatmap actually brings some utility to the otherwise estethic-only RGB. Being able to tune gradients would allow calibration according to model, considering different laptops and cpus etc. perform differently.

Hope other people agree.

Edit: Do these values account for GPU mode too?
