    Code (CSharp):
    1. var gamepad = (DualShockGamepad)Gamepad.all[0];
    2. gamepad.SetLightbarColor(Color.red);

    it detects my dualshock but it doesn't work. The light bar is in default color white. Is there any specific dualshock 4 setup that I need to go on windows ?

    Is the controller connected via USB or via Bluetooth?

    With DS4Windows turned off, the controller should be working both wired and over Bluetooth.

    How can I make this work? I'm kinda new to C# and I do not know where to put it, it's throwing a bunch of errors at me...

    You could just click that "Show potential fixes" link and VS would suggest you alternative fixes. In this case you are missing:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. using UnityEngine.InputSystem.DualShock;
    additionally, there's a typo in the example, you actually need to write:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. gamepad.SetLightBarColor(Color.red);
    instead of
    Code (CSharp):
    1. gamepad.SetLightbarColor(Color.red);
    (note capitalized B in SetLightBarColor)
