Skip digging through AppData
Links on rgbjunkie.com (or rgbjunkie:// URLs) can open RGBJunkie or your user data folder without %APPDATA% archaeology.
RGBJunkie needs to be installed and registered for the link scheme. Clicked a link and nothing happened? Launch the app once from the Start menu, then try again.
When RGBJunkie is already running, website handoff links apply silently — no User Account Control prompt. If the app is closed, Windows may ask once to start RGBJunkie (the installed app runs as administrator so it can talk to USB lighting devices).
Open your user data folder
These handoff links work in any browser:
| Link | Opens |
|---|---|
| Open RGBJunkie user folder | Root of your AppData folder |
| plugins/ | Installed plugins |
| effects/ | User effects |
| components/ | User components |
| profiles/scenes/ | Scene files |
| logs/ | Log files |
Handy while following Installed files, Backup your data, or Send a support report.
Install a plugin from GitHub
Community pages sometimes have Install in RGBJunkie buttons. Under the hood they look like:
https://www.rgbjunkie.com/RGBJunkieApp/s?p=addon/install&url=https://github.com/owner/repoOnly https on github.com or gitlab.com. Files land in your user folder and show up under Settings → Installed files.
Jump straight into the app

Add -silentlaunch- or silent=1 if you want the action without popping the main window out of the tray.
In Settings, type a search term and use the link icon beside the search box to copy a handoff URL for that exact query.
