DoW on G15, anybody?

Ok, I'm just throwing this out there (because I know there are people that come and go without leaving comments). But does anybody out there have an applet for the Logitech G15 keyboard's LCD screen that does anything for THQ's "Warhammer 40'000: Dawn of War" series of games?

Tonight I finally saw the G15 in person and it does indeed look very sexy as far as keyboards go. Actually, I like the look of the "Gaming Keyboard" (with the blue lighting) better than the "Version 2" (has orange lighting). But then I came home and started doing research. And it seems Logitech was pretty sparse on the included software for the cool little screen.

But they did release a full SDK suite for the general public to code custom applets. So has any body out there tried this thing? Is it easy to work with? Hard to work with? I may be an IT professional, but I'll admit, my track record for setting up my own compilers has been spotty at best - I do my best work when I just have to worry about the code itself and not the mechanisms behind the machine language.

Anybody? The best answer would be to say, "why yes, I play Dawn of War also and have a G15 set up to show lots of good info on the mini-screen. And here's how you can get it too!"

Obviously since I don't have a G15, I have no clue. But I though this link might provide some help: http://www.g15forums.com/forum/index.php

I tried searching, but you have to register to do a search (there is an anti-spam mechanism)... Good luck!
