what about a way to keep the color picker on top and be able to move around so when you are programming it is right there and out the way

Since this conversation is still going, I thought I'd jump in here with a tidbit...
 
Everything here was thought of and discussed long before y'all even got to see the RGB tool.  There has been a planned solution for this (nobody here has it exact yet), but we haven't wanted  to put all of our cards on the table just yet.  This message will self destruct in....

More or less if you try to create a D-light RBG (over ACx16) channel, if the 3 channels you plan on using are already listed, it wont let you. You have to delete the channels first.

Well, I don't know about errors like that. We don't use flood washes like that.
I have enough problems (1)createing a sequence from scratch and (2)keeping popups from locking up the program.
Fine. You're so smart you rig up the lights.

Just to over complicate the heck out of the program.Big%20smile    My only thought would be to provide better clarity for multi-channel commands.  If your lighting up more than one of the RGB channels at the same time may show up better on multi-lines than the one single line.  It was just a thought, most likely "like I said" over complicate the programing.

It may make setup easier for new users.  Unless I'm not doing it right and keep getting error mssages becaseu of that. If I want to setup a flood mix with the RGB tool now. If I create a 16 channel controller, I have to go erase the 3 RGB channels I want to use before it will let me set up the one RGB channel.

Not to argue or anything, but if you could pick BLUE on the RGB "channel", why would you want to access the blue channel?

Yes, its more stuff on the screen, but not necessary to be seen during sequencing.  You can push it to the bottom, off screen.  You can just pull it up if needed.

If you could take a single channel and link say 4-5 channel to it. Example multi-color mini-trees. If you had the channel name (m-tree 1) next to the name you have boxes with the channel colors in them.  You click on the red box and it will link all your lighting commands to the red channel. then click to the white box and all your light commands will link to the white channel.
That's grouping and I've heard that's slated for the 2009 season.

If you add a command to the MC channel, it also adds it to the single color channel as well.

Getting more complicated, create a RBG "TYPE" of tool which will allow you to create a fade from one color to another. If you want to fade from red trees to green trees, you could create the perfect fade in this tool. Also with in this tool would be the ability to choose more than one color for the lighting command. This way you could have multiple channels with the same command. I often have my white and blue lights on my trees on at the same time.

As far as the true isolation of the multiple color channels to the one color control channel like the RGB tgool is now, I think it would almost be better to work this similar to the Virtual channel Spectrum had where you create the 4-5 color channels and the Multi-color channel seperately.
