Bug: Please fix (LED PAR WHITE)

Post by Raiden »

Good Day.

Normally, when you select a color using RGB, it show the color in a small bar over the fixture icon. However, when you are using White (Like RGBW par cans), the white color does not show in the small bar. Therefore, I could have all my par cans white, but all the bars will show black.

FYI, the White color slider does show as W1 in the color window.

Can this be fixed?

Thanks!

hi

and i think this will not be fixed..
as the color bar above the fixture is created by the COLOR PICKER..
and the color picker doesnt include the White and amber channel.

and there have been MANY!!!!! poeple that ask if the White and amber channel could be included in the COLOR PICKER...but its not possible..because there is no colorpicker that have RGB+W+A

a color picker only works on RGB, CMY or HUE/Saturation/Value...

and the White and Amber channel are used for Color corections and these Corections are Differnt for each type of Fixture...

Hi Spirit

I am sure there is a solution for this.

Also. I use RGBW pars for my FOH lighting. And the problem I am having is that my whole rig could be off or on, I have no way to see it in Freestyler as the color will remain black.

There is more and more RGBW - RBGWA LED fixtures that are sold, I am sure that Raph can find a solution. I have reported the bug to him, let's see if there is something he can do. Maybe modify the color picker, or add a second color bar or other type of indicator.

Thanks!

I could see white fitting in fairly easily. By having a vertical colour bar/slider at the bottom of the bar being the normal colour selected and a gradient getting lighter in colour.
E.g color picker set to red. The bar is red at bottom and the gradient moving towards very light pink.
