Custom iCUE widget for real-time AVG FPS + 1% Low on the Xeneon Edge

Hey,

Wanted to use the Xeneon Edge as an actual gaming dashboard so I built a small widget that pulls FPS data straight from MSI Afterburner and displays two live gauges — AVG FPS on the right, 1% Low on the left.

No screen capture, no OCR. It reads Afterburner's shared memory directly, runs silently in the background, auto-starts with Windows.

The 1% Low is a real rolling percentile over 25 seconds, not just a minimum.

What you need:

  • MSI Afterburner running (Hardware Monitor open)
  • Python 3 installed (just check "Add to PATH" during install)
  • iCUE 5

Drop the folder in C:\XeneonFPS\, import the .icuewidget file in iCUE, copy the .vbs to your startup folder and you're done.

I built a custom FPS counter widget for the Corsair Xeneon Edge

So I picked up a Corsair Xeneon Edge a while back and love it, but one thing bugged me: there's no native FPS counter widget in iCUE. Plenty of CPU/GPU temps, clocks, RAM usage… but no FPS. So I built one.

What it does

It's a clean circular gauge — big FPS number in the middle, colored arc around it that fills up as your framerate climbs. Designed to match the look of the native iCUE sensor widgets so it doesn't feel out of place next to them.

Customization

Pretty much everything is tweakable from the iCUE settings panel:

  • FPS Max (where the arc fills completely — default 160)
  • Low / high thresholds for color transitions (default 40 / 80)
  • Colors for low / mid / high zones (default red → orange → green)
  • Value color, label color, background, transparency

The widget polls http://127.0.0.1:8765/fps every 500ms and expects either JSON ({"fps": 120}) or a raw number. Easiest way to feed it real FPS data is RTSS (RivaTuner Statistics Server, comes with MSI Afterburner)
