Abstract
User interactions with information handling systems can be improved by providing real-time feedback to the user during use of an application on the information handling system. Lighting effects may be defined for application events and those lighting effects executed to provide the user with visual feedback that notifies the user of the application events. In one example involving a computer game, a user playing a computer game on an information handling system may be playing a character with an associate health bar. The amount of health in the health bar may increase or decrease during gameplay, and a lighting effect may be used as feedback to indicate to the user the application events corresponding to the increase or decrease of the character's health.
