COLORstrip white in 3D view when set to off [fixed]

This has been a problem for quite some time, but I decided to post it to see if there is any solution. My COLORstrips show as white light in the 3D view when they're set to no_function on the color channel. Is there anyway to set that no_function to a blackout or just to NOT have this light project white when it's in no_function mode? One older post suggested to change the channel from color to color_macro, which works, but then adds more unwanted characteristics to the 3D display of the fixture than this issue.

The upload feature will not allow attachments with the extension .txt on it. I even removed the .txt and it will not accept it.

One thing to note is that the personality file (COLORstrip.txt) for the COLORstrip I am using is the original file that comes with Showxpress.

Yes, the first channel must not have the name "color".
Please use the attached file.

The problem is that the first channel is labeled as "color" when it should be "mode." The profiles have been revised and are attached. I will have them included in the next software release so everyone will have them as well.

I was having the same issue. I downloaded the most recent profiles from the Chauvet website, removed the lights completely, set them back up using the correct profile and now where "Color" was, "Mode" is. When I select a mode, nothing happens, but when I change the other levels, the color selected will change, regardless of what mode is set. Any suggestions?
