💖 SDL_HINT_JOYSTICK_HIDAPI_XBOX_ONE_HOME_LED 💖

okay bestie, so this one lives in the SDL3 functions manual (section 3, for the record) and it's literally just a variable. A variable that controls whether the Home button LED should be turned on when an Xbox One controller is opened. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like. this variable? you can set it to the following values, and that's it, that's the menu:

• "0" — Home button LED is turned off. bye bye glow. 💀
• "1" — Home button LED is turned on. hello glow. ✨

and here's the tea: by default the Home button LED state is not changed. it just minds its own business, periodt.

BUT WAIT. plot twist. 🫢 this hint can also be set to a floating point value between 0.0 and 1.0, which controls the brightness of the Home button LED. not just on/off — full dimmer-switch main character energy. 💅

and the default brightness is 0.4. noted. slay.

also, this hint can be set anytime. no scheduling, no waiting room, just send it. 🔥

👑 AVAILABILITY 👑

this hint is available since SDL 3.2.0. if you're on something older... bestie. upgrade. 😭
