Title: Is there anyway to set pixel colors other than RGBYW ?
Post by: jerrywolfer on July 20, 2015, 08:48:43 AM

Is there anyway to set pixel colors other than RGBYW ?
For example I would like to have a string pink or close to it.

Yes, click on the "box" of the color you want to change, then select one of the basic colors or define a custom color.

Phrog30, thanks for the information.
I have attached a screen shot of where I am trying to change the color with no success.
I don't seem to have a "custom Color" choice?  probably just being new to xLights can't find it?
Using version 4.1.11 can you take a look at the attached and see if you can tell me where to select?
thanks

Where the color selection tool is click on a color box and the color selection window should pop up. There is also a little lock icon you need to unlock to change the color.

Mike_G;  thanks! that was it... nob here... again thanks
I missed the idea of clicking on the color selected box a second time.

Your welcome. I wish I could have gone to expo but work is really busy. I'm learning different things about xlights all the time but still plan on using lor to run things. I  basically don't want to spend the time this year to change all my ac channels to dmx and arrange all of my sequences to map correctly. I've been using lor for 10 years now and will change eventually, maybe.

Glad you got it. Sorry if my explanation wasn't clear.

I did the same when I started off with xl.
It was quite a few days later , that I was watching one of the many videos and saw the colour selector pop up and rewound that to see how.
