+## About this fork
+
+This is a fork of [mskutin/DynamicLight](https://github.com/mskutin/DynamicLight) maintained by [BrenOne](https://github.com/BrenOne), with its own releases and in-app updates. What it adds:
+
+- **Stable Robobloq output:** steady USB frames, automatic strip-layout detection and up to 60 FPS ([offered upstream](https://github.com/mskutin/DynamicLight/pull/68)).
+- **Caps/Num/Scroll Lock (Windows):** Windows updates the keyboard indicators through the controller itself, which made the strip flash above 30 FPS. The app now guards against it. This needs administrator rights; without them output is capped at 30 FPS, which is always stable.
+- **Administrator start-up without shell commands (Windows):** the elevated start and **Launch at login** use Task Scheduler tasks created through the Windows API after one UAC approval, separately for every Windows user. No `cmd.exe`/`schtasks` command lines, which antivirus heuristics report as persistence malware. At sign-in the app waits for the taskbar, so the tray icon always appears.
+- **Several Windows users and remote desktop:** the strip belongs to the session at the physical screen. While another user or a remote desktop session is active, the app lets go of the strip and picks it up again when you return.
+- **Shutdown:** the strip is switched off when Windows shuts down, restarts or signs out.
+- **Builds for every system:** Windows, macOS and Linux packages are built and published automatically. If the macOS or Linux build fails, the release goes out without it and says so; those two are experimental because they are not tested with a real controller.
+
+Bugs found in this fork go to [its issues](https://github.com/BrenOne/DynamicLight/issues/new/choose). The guides in `docs/` are in English.
