Change the UI color of your Nintendo Switch controller!

Cut up version of hidtest by shinyquagsire29. Changes the color of your JoyCon/Pro Controller in the Nintendo Switch's UI.

This is meant to be for users on Linux who cannot use jc_toolkit and just want to change the color in a kinda simple-ish way.

Please keep in mind that while this will almost certainly not get you banned from online play, it is considered a cosmetic modification by Nintendo and will void the warranty on your controller.

TODO

I probably won't be adding much to the project personally, but if you have a lazy afternoon and want to do a few of these, please don't hesitate to make a PR!

• Remove more leftover code from hidtest.
• Add support for handle colors.
• Make the script prompt for colors and Bluetooth status when it runs so the script doesn't have to be recompiled every time you want to change the color.
• Add a license once shinyquagsire29 adds one to HID Joy-Con Whispering.

This project has only been extensively tested on Linux, and requires hidapi as a prerequisite.
