New Beta version 12/2008

Post by Andre »

The new Beta 03-Dec-2008 version on the "Live" page it does enable you to choose the colour of Effect Buttons only, it's a start.
Once you have you have created your effect. right click the button and then choose Color from the context menu and then 1 of 16 colours.

Cannot change the colour of the Scene buttons or groups.
Cannot move things around.
You can minimise the effect buttons if the "Groups" button is enabled but then they become unusable.
Cannot size the buttons, so you have to create short meaningful (hah) names with the max of (well it depends on the chars you use) I have managed to get sixteen chars (including spaces) but normally only can get 12.

Can only trigger 1 scene with each effect button. Would still like to see the ability of launching mutiple scenes from one effect button.

When you first create a new effect it allows you to include a previously created effect. I thought this would mean that it would launch that effect as well as what ever the new effect does, but it does not trigger another effect regardless. So that's a bug.

Cannot move groups around on the editor page so it is still in the order that you create them. So think carefully about names of the groups. You can change the names of the groups and then move scenes around with in the groups, but that is a right pain in the a**e.

Have not done much more examining of the Beta yet.
