Title: custom color not saved
Post by: WildWillie on December 09, 2014, 10:00:05 AM

Using 3.6.12. Adding orange to the custom colors using 255,32,0. Show up as a custom color in square. hit OK. Go to next effect, and the custom color isn't there. Tried saving sequence, color still not there when I open the color box again. It seems like it doesn't save them. Do I have to enter the color for every effect? Even if go back, the color isn't in the custom box.  Am I missing something??

XL/NC works with Color Palettes.

Configure your colors to taste, save that to a palette and name it.
Load the saved pallet to Palette1 and or Palette 2.

Now the color palette will be consistent for each row.

Cheers,
Steve

each effect can have totally different colors. the colors are saved when you save the effect.

modify the 6 colors and then save as a palette.
when you first launch xlights, do a load palette from saved colors

now all effects you create will start with those colors./

If you created 100 rows, with the default colors. you now change one of them, the others will not see that change.

you can use an editor and change the colors you have

here are the patterns for effect1 and effect colors

If i go into an editor  and open the sequence xml
i could do a search and replace and change
E1_BUTTON_Palette2=#FFFF00"
with
E1_BUTTON_Palette2=#FFFFFF

after this the second color of effect 1 is going to be pure white,

If you do decide to edit your sequence file

"FILE,BACKUP" Please!

here are patterns for 6 colors for both effect1 and effect2

E1_BUTTON_Palette1=#8000FF,E1_CHECKBOX_Palette2=0,E1_BUTTON_Palette2=#FFFF00,E1_CHECKBOX_Palette3=0,E1_BUTTON_Palette3=#FF0000,E1_CHECKBOX_Palette4=1,E1_BUTTON_Palette4=#00FF00,E1_CHECKBOX_Palette5=1,E1_BUTTON_Palette5=#0000FF,E1_CHECKBOX_Palette6=0,E1_BUTTON_Palette6=#FF8000,

E2_CHECKBOX_Palette1=1,E2_BUTTON_Palette1=#FF0000,E2_CHECKBOX_Palette2=0,E2_BUTTON_Palette2=#00FF00,E2_CHECKBOX_Palette3=0,E2_BUTTON_Palette3=#0000FF,E2_CHECKBOX_Palette4=0,E2_BUTTON_Palette4=#FFFF00,E2_CHECKBOX_Palette5=0,E2_BUTTON_Palette5=#FFFFFF,E2_CHECKBOX_Palette6=0,E2_BUTTON_Palette6=#000000
