+# Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct
+
+## Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in our
+community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body
+size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender
+identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status,
+nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity
+and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming,
+diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+## Our Standards
+
+Examples of behavior that contributes to a positive environment for our
+community include:
+
+* Demonstrating empathy and kindness toward other people
+* Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences
+* Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback
+* Accepting responsibility and apologizing to those affected by our mistakes,
+  and learning from the experience
+* Focusing on what is best not just for us as individuals, but for the
+  overall community
+
+Examples of unacceptable behavior include:
+
+* The use of sexualized language or imagery, and sexual attention or
+  advances of any kind
+* Trolling, insulting or derogatory comments, and personal or political attacks
+* Public or private harassment
+* Publishing others' private information, such as a physical or email
+  address, without their explicit permission
+* Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+  professional setting
+
+## Enforcement Responsibilities
+
+Community leaders are responsible for clarifying and enforcing our standards of
+acceptable behavior and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in
+response to any behavior that they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive,
+or harmful.
+
+Community leaders have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject
+comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions that are
+not aligned to this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation
+decisions when appropriate.
+
+## Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
+an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
+Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
+posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
+representative at an online or offline event.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
+reported to the community leaders responsible for enforcement at
+.
+All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly.
+
+All community leaders are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the
+reporter of any incident.
+
+## Enforcement Guidelines
+
+Community leaders will follow these Community Impact Guidelines in determining
+the consequences for any action they deem in violation of this Code of Conduct:
+
+### 1. Correction
+
+**Community Impact**: Use of inappropriate language or other behavior deemed
+unprofessional or unwelcome in the community.
+
+**Consequence**: A private, written warning from community leaders, providing
+clarity around the nature of the violation and an explanation of why the
+behavior was inappropriate. A public apology may be requested.
+
+### 2. Warning
+
+**Community Impact**: A violation through a single incident or series
+of actions.
+
+**Consequence**: A warning with consequences for continued behavior. No
+interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction with
+those enforcing the Code of Conduct, for a specified period of time. This
+includes avoiding interactions in community spaces as well as external channels
+like social media. Violating these terms may lead to a temporary or
+permanent ban.
+
+### 3. Temporary Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: A serious violation of community standards, including
+sustained inappropriate behavior.
+
+**Consequence**: A temporary ban from any sort of interaction or public
+communication with the community for a specified period of time. No public or
+private interaction with the people involved, including unsolicited interaction
+with those enforcing the Code of Conduct, is allowed during this period.
+Violating these terms may lead to a permanent ban.
+
+### 4. Permanent Ban
+
+**Community Impact**: Demonstrating a pattern of violation of community
+standards, including sustained inappropriate behavior,  harassment of an
+individual, or aggression toward or disparagement of classes of individuals.
+
+**Consequence**: A permanent ban from any sort of public interaction within
+the community.

-# G-Helper / GHelper 
-
-## Open source Armory Crate alternative for Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, G15, Flow X13, Flow X16, and other models
-
-A small utility that allows you do almost everyting you could do with Armory Crate but without extra bloat and unnecessary services.
-
-### [Download latest release](https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/releases)
-
-![Screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seerge/g-helper/main/screenshot.png)
-
-## NEW (and experimental) features
-
-1. Set Power limits (PPT) for Total (APU + dGPU) and CPU. 
-2. Anime matrix control thanks to [Starlight](https://github.com/vddCore/Starlight) + some tweaks from my side
-
-## Main features
-
-1. Switch between built-in system **Performance modes** Silent / Balanced / Turbo and apply default fan curves
-2. Seamless (!) switch between Eco / Standard or Ultimate **GPU modes**
-3. Change laptop screen refresh rate - 60hz or your maximum (120hz, 144hz, etc depending on the model) with display overdrive (OD)
-4. View default fan profiles for every mode and **auto apply** custom ones 
-5. Control keyboard backlit animation and colors
-6. Set battery charge limit to preserve battery health
-7. Monitor CPU temperature, fan speeds and battery discharge rate
-8. **Automatically switch to Eco(iGPU)/60hz on battery** and back to Standard(GPU)/120hz modes when plugged
-9. Support for FN+F5 to cycle through performance modes (with OSD notification) and FN+F4 to cycle through keeyboard animation modes
-10. Basic keybindings for M3 and M4 keys
-11. Turn cpu turbo boost on/off with one checkbox to keep temps cooler
-
-Designed and developed for Asus Zephyrus G14 2022 (with AMD Radeon iGPU and dGPU). But could and should potentially work for G14 of 2021 and 2020, G15, X FLOW, and other ROG models for relevant and supported features.
-
-To keep autoswitching and hotkeys work app needs to stay in running in tray. It doesn't consume any resources. 
-
-## Performance Profile switching 
-
-Profiles are **same** as in Armory Crate (as they are stored in bios), including default fan curves
-
-1. Silent (minimal or no fans, 70W PPT total, up to 45W PPT to CPU)
-2. Balanced (balanced fans, 100W PPT total, up to 45W PPT to CPU)
-3. Turbo (intense fans, 125W PPT total, up to 80W PPT to CPU) 
-
-PPTs are shown for G14 2022, for other models PPTs will be different as they are set in bios.
-
-## GPU Modes
-
-1. Eco mode : only low power integrated GPU enabled, iGPU drives built in display
-2. Standard mode (Windows Hybrid) : iGPU and dGPU enabled, iGPU drives built in display
-3. Ultimate mode: iGPU and dGPU enabled, but dGPU drives built in display (supported only on G14 2022 model)
-
-## How to install
-
-1. Download latest release from [**Releases Page**](https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/releases)
-2. Unzip to a folder of your choice
-3. Run **GHelper.exe**
-
-App requires [.NET7](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download) to be installed. Most probably you already have it. Otherwise you can [download it](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download).
-
-I recommend to keep "Asus Optimization Service" running, as it keeps basic laptop hotkeys such as screen or keyboard brightness adjustment working. If you have (or had) MyASUS app installed, that service is most probably still up an running even after MyASUS uninstall. It's part of [Asus System Controll Interface](https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1047338/). You can install it, and later disable / remove unnecesarily services by running [this bat file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seerge/g-helper/main/stop-asus-sv.bat) as admin.
-
-Note: Uses low level ASUS ACPI commands and doens't require Armory Crate to be installed at all!  Doesn't need administrator privileges to run!
-
-I don`t have Microsoft certificate to sign app yet, so if you get a warning from Windows Defender on launch (Windows Protected your PC), click More Info -> Run anyway. Alternatively you can compile and run project by yourself using Visual Studio :)
-
-Settings file is stored at %AppData%\GHelper
-
-P.S.: It's not recommended to use app in combination with Armory Crate, cause they adjust same settings.
-

+## Open source Armory Crate alternative for Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, G15, Flow X13, Flow X16, and other models
+
+A small utility that allows you to do almost everything you could do with Armory Crate but without extra bloat and unnecessary services.
+
+### :gift: Main advantages 
+
+1. Seamless and automatic GPU switching (without asking you to close all apps, etc)
+2. All performance modes can be fully customized (with fan curves and PPTs)
+3. Very lightweight and consumes almost no resources, doesn't install any services. Just a single exe to run
+
+### [:floppy_disk: Download latest release](https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/releases/latest/download/GHelper.zip)
+
+If you like this app, please star :star: it on Github and spread a word about it!
+

+
+### :zap: Main features
+
+1. Built-in **Performance modes**: Silent - Balanced - Turbo (with default fan curves)
+2. **GPU modes**: Eco -Standard - Ultimate 
+3. Laptop screen refresh rate 60hz or 120hz (144hz, etc depending on the model) with display overdrive (OD)
+4. Default and custom fan profiles for every performance mode
+5. Power limits (PPT) for every performance mode
+6. CPU turbo boost mode
+7. Keyboard backlit animation and colors
+8. Anime matrix control thanks to [Starlight](https://github.com/vddCore/Starlight) + some tweaks from my side (including animated GIFs)
+9. FN+F5 cycles performance modes, FN+F4 cycles keyboard animation modes
+10. Keybindings for M3 and M4 keys
+11. Battery charge limit to preserve battery health
+12. Monitor CPU / GPU temperature, fan speeds and battery discharge rate
+
+### :apple: Automatic switching of modes when on battery or plugged in
+- Performance modes (app remembers last mode used on battery or when plugged)
+- GPU modes (eco on battery, stanard when plugged)
+- Screen refresh rate (60hz on battery, 120+ hz when plugged)
+
+To keep auto switching and hotkeys working the app needs to stay in running in the tray. It doesn't consume any resources. 
+
+### :rocket: Performance Modes
+
+Modes are **same** as in Armory Crate (as they are stored in bios), including default fan curves
+
+1. Silent (minimal or no fans, 70W PPT total, up to 45W PPT to CPU) + Best power efficiency setting in windows
+2. Balanced (balanced fans, 100W PPT total, up to 45W PPT to CPU) + Balanced setting in windows
+3. Turbo (intense fans, 125W PPT total, up to 80W PPT to CPU) + Best performance setting in windows
+
+PPTs are shown for G14 2022, for other models PPTs will be different as they are set in bios.
+
+### :video_game: GPU Modes
+
+1. Eco mode : only low power integrated GPU enabled, iGPU drives built in display
+2. Standard mode (Windows Hybrid) : iGPU and dGPU enabled, iGPU drives built in display
+3. Ultimate mode: iGPU and dGPU enabled, but dGPU drives built in display (supported only on G14 2022 model)
+
+### :question: FAQ
+
+#### How do I stop Armory Crate install popup appearing every time I press M4 / Rog key?
+Go to BIOS (F2 on boot), open Advanced Settings (F8) and disable "Armory Control Intrerface"  
+
+#### Why Ultimate GPU mode is not available on my laptop?
+Ultimate mode is supported (by hardware) only on G14 2022 (and possibly other models from 2022+)
+
+#### App doesn't start / or crashes, what should I do ?
+Open "Event Viewer" from start menu, go to Windows Logs -> Application and check for recent Errors mentioning G-Helper. If you see one - please post a [new issue](https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/issues) with all details from this error.
+
+----------------------------
+
+### How to install
+
+1. Download latest release from [**Releases Page**](https://github.com/seerge/g-helper/releases)
+2. Unzip to a folder of your choice
+3. Run **GHelper.exe**
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- App requires [.NET7](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download) to be installed. Most probably you already have it. Otherwise you can [download it](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download).
+
+- I recommend keeping "Asus Optimization Service" running, as it keeps basic laptop hotkeys such as screen or keyboard brightness adjustment working. If you have (or had) MyASUS app installed, that service is most probably still up and running even after MyASUS uninstalls. It's part of [Asus System Control Interface](https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1047338/). You can install it, and later disable / remove unnecessary services by running [this bat file](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/seerge/g-helper/main/debloat.bat) as admin.
+
+- It's not recommended to use an app in combination with Armory Crate, cause they adjust the same settings. You can [uninstall it using it's own uninstall tool](https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/14Utilities/Armoury_Crate_Uninstall_Tool.zip?model=armoury%20crate). Just in case, you can always install it back later.
+
+Note: Doesn't need administrator privileges to run!
+
+-------------------------------
+
+Designed and developed for Asus Zephyrus G14 2022 (with AMD Radeon iGPU and dGPU). But could and should potentially work for G14 of 2021 and 2020, G15, X FLOW, and other ROG models for relevant and supported features.
+
+I don't have a Microsoft certificate to sign the app yet, so if you get a warning from Windows Defender on launch (Windows Protected your PC), click More Info -> Run anyway. Alternatively you can compile and run project by yourself using Visual Studio :)
+
+Settings file is stored at ``%AppData%\GHelper``
