Here are a couple of screen captures that might help explain what I'm running into.
1) when I import the .lms file and play the sequence, the outline of the tree is white (see outline as imported.png).
2) if I click the effect next to the "outline" label and then click the checkbox next to the red in the color panel, the outline actually disappears. I've tried clicking the update buttons and have pressed the render button but still no outline.
I'm just trying to make my singing trees green and can't figure out what's up.
Maybe it has something to do with importing effects? I doubt it tho.
By the way, as a way to eliminate possible issues, I fired up my wife's Windows PC, installed xLights there and imported the .lms file there. Same behavior. I'm not able to change the color of the outline.
I must be changing the wrong setting.
