Display tab New tab design

Installation

Before installing, exit any competing controller management tools like Handheld Companion or Winhanced to avoid conflicts.

Tip

On a handheld, just run Install.bat. It auto-elevates, installs everything, and closes itself afterwards — no keyboard input required at any point. This is the easiest path when you don't have a keyboard attached.

Setup process:

  1. Extract the ZIP file to your chosen directory
  2. Run Install.bat with administrator privileges
  3. Confirm the UAC prompt
  4. Enable Gaming in Xbox Game Bar (Win + G)
  5. Locate and position the ClawTweaks widget on the left side
  6. Confirm the background UAC prompt on first launch
  7. Disable MSI Center M in the Main tab to unlock all features
  8. Enable Virtual Controller & Mouse in the Controls tab
  9. By default you can switch between Mouse and Controller mode with Start + Select

Important

No controller input? If nothing on the controller works and the left stick only moves the mouse cursor, the MSI Claw's hardware mouse/controller switch is in mouse mode. Hold the Start button for at least 3 seconds to switch it back to controller mode.

Note

Reordering widgets: remove and re-add them in the desired sequence to change their order.

The installer uses a self-signed certificate (CN=ClawTweaks Dev) with automatic trust handling.

What's New

New: Display color settings (Intel)

  • A new Display tab with a full Color Remaster — Saturation, Hue, Contrast, Brightness, Gamma and Adaptive Sharpness, applied directly through the installed Intel graphics driver (IGCL), no extra tools required.
  • These values are stored per game and globally in the existing performance profile (now "Performance & Display"), so your color/sharpness follows the running game — great for titles that look washed out or oversaturated.
  • A reference-image gallery at the top previews the effect live; it's now larger, navigable with the controller (arrows + A), and shows a dot indicator.

New: Dedicated Fan tab

  • Fan control moved into its own Fan tab with Quiet / Default / Aggressive / Custom presets.
  • Fixed loud fans caused by a lingering full-speed override, and the selected preset now persists across reboots (the helper is the single source of truth).

Fix: occasional mouse stutter

  • The virtual mouse could stutter under load. The helper and its input threads now run at a higher process/thread priority, matching the responsiveness you'd expect.

Design refresh

  • New tab design — the active tab is now a modern raised "register" pill with a subtle 3D gradient and accent glow instead of the thin underline, with more breathing room. The white controller-focus ring is unchanged.
  • Tab icons redrawn with crisp Fluent System Icons (Home, Performance, Display monitor, Profiles, Controls, Lossless, System) plus a proper round fan icon.
  • Consistent profile-status badges across Controls / Performance / Display: orange = Editing Global Profile, green = Editing Game Profile, and the saved profile cards now show the stored display values.

Stability

  • Fixed a widget crash that could fail-fast the whole Game Bar when a game started or ended (an out-of-range TDP-mode index when switching profiles). This is what previously made the helper appear to "drop out" between games and skipped the game-start notification — both are now consistent.

Fixes

  • Assigning a custom tile hotkey no longer leaves the default Start + Select combo stuck.
  • The Saved Controller Profiles card now names the sticks correctly (matching the Claw's swapped left/right stick mapping in the gyro menu).
