Screen background color

Post by Stig »

ShowXpress is showing black on my Win10, the Youtube video's usually use Apple with a white background. Can I change my backgound color to white?

The tutorials were made with the version V8 of our software.
Following the request of almost all users, the current version V9 has now dark screens ; and this can not be changed.
The existing tutorials (made with V8) are 99% ok for V9.
If light mode is really required, and if your interface is one of these: Cable, Box, Ssa, D512, Remote, Rack,
you can use V8 which is available here: https://forum.thelightingcontroller.com ... =85&t=4553

Thanks a lot. I'm thinking about buying Chauvet DJ XPRESS 1024. Will it work with Version 8 then? And while I have you, I was fooled when I bought MarQ Sceniq, as the soft ware did not have any limit on the lenght of the timeline, but when I connected the hardware, the timeline was limited to 30 minutes. Do you know if the Chauvet has any timeline limit's? I need 2:30 for the show.

Sorry but the recent dmx interfaces (D512S and D1024) are not ok for V8.

There is no fixed limit for timeline duration in our software, however 2:30 is a lot.
We suggest you to check that before buying the dmx interface ; just download the software and try.

I have adjusted several aspects of the background colors, but the one that I really want to change is the curve or cut symbol under the sliders. It is extremely difficult to see the thin black curve or cut against the dark grey background. Any way to adjust that part
