I absolutely have to recommend this app, it's the best G1x app there is, by a long way; and the response to issues or feature requests is usually almost instant. Fantastic app. Why isn't this guy developing apps for Logitech? Compared to some of the apps that ship with the G1x, this is like comparing a hand cart with a Veyron.

Who are the other non-logitech devs that you would allow that? And where can I find their apps? if their as good as sirreal, those apps are /need 
ontopic: I'm gonna test it tonight

Really looking forward to a Mac version of this, I've already got my PC all pimped out and set up for it. 
The ability to render html on the device helps a ton too, means that people who are only familiar with web development can build quick little php-like pages to show info on the screen
For all of those who are interested, even though this is only in Alpha, it's quite easy to make layouts. Here's one that took me about 1/2 hour or so to whip up, it shows me weather info, time, CPU/Memory usage and Network usage. (there's still room in the middle to put more info in, soon as I can think of something useful to put in there )
Thanks for making such a cool app SirReal, keep up the good work!

What’s new in LCDHost alpha 16:
- LCDHost now has self-update capability, both for plugins and the main program.
- Use Tools -> Updates to check the update settings.
- What’s New display is now on the Welcome screen, not on the device.
- Updated to Qt 4.7.3 for all platforms
- OS/X now uses direct-to-hardware since Logitech does not provide 64-bit drivers.
- HID and USB level drives provided for all platforms.
- The G19 USB driver requires uninstallation of existing drivers before use.
- With little in-house testing time, I fully expect this to be an extra-buggy alpha.
- Report all bugs on the LCDHost issue tracker.
- I would have liked to replace the g19-default layout, but unfortunately there wasn’t time. Pick your own favorite.
- Includes a new g15-default layout for 160×43 devices by Ender91.
- …and lots of other fixes and changes as well.
Important information for OS/X users: LCDHost A16 for OS/X is now 64-bit. If you’re not running Snow Leopard, please consider updating. The Logitech drivers, however, are 32-bit only. This means that LCDHost can no longer use the Logitech drivers to access G13/G15/G19 devices. Sorry about that – but until Logitech releases 64-bit drivers, not much I can do except ask you to try the direct-to-hardware plugins LH_Lg320x240 and LH_Lg160x43. You lose out on the keymapping and backlighting features though. Unfortunately I can’t build a 32-bit version of LCDHost for OS/X, so you’re forced to choose between LCDHost and regular drivers at this point. Hopefully Logitech will release new drivers, and I’ll certainly add macroing and backlight support in the future.
