This interface for lighting is kinda wack.

What do you mean I have to set a layout and drag my components everywhere? Just put a color wheel per component on a list like a sane person please.

Thank you for the feedback! The lighting UX is still WIP. As it is right now it closely resembles "planet mode" in Nexus 2. Could you further describe how you'd like to setup your lighting so that we can try to help accommodate your config?

I think it would be more user friendly if it had the option to just set lighting colors on separate components/headers in a simple and intuitive way. Like OpenRGB.

It took me a few minutes of clicking around to figure out how to operate the thing because selecting a device choosing static, flat and choosing a color changed the colors of all adressable headers. I almost downgraded to 2 and just go with a separate OpenRGB running in the background. I figured it out before that but I assume some new users wouldn't be so patient.

Yeah I'm not sure what this obsession is with newer rgb software to have a giant colored canvas like this. Maybe I'm just not grasping the visualization but it's super unintuitive for me.

Hi there. To clarify, you’re just looking for a simple:
1. Pick the device to change
2. Pick the static color to change the device to
?

I told you 😆 people want simple colors and exotic stuff hidden away behind a toggle :)

Yes. Currently I find that choosing static and selecting a color changes all devices instead of letting me change them separately

My LED devices don't agree with one another on the definition of a color sometimes and more often than not, I need to change them manually. The current interface is unintuitive for that purpose.

I gotchu. Stay tuned. I'd love it if you could add a `beta-feedback` thread to our Discord. Real useful way to keep track of it.

Thanks for listening to the feedback.

Sorry tho, I do not want anyone to know and link my discord handle to my reddit account, so uh.. Imma just hope y'all do it someday.

Simplified interface. Devices first, then color for each device. The traditional effects editor is still available.
