Woops, I guess I posted to the wrong list! Here are my responses to your responses.

So in CLI: > lX<enter>ff<enter> is set group X to full (100%) or > lX<enter>25<enter> is set group X to 25%. This only works if the Intensity Field gets correctly hilited though, since sometimes the focus doesn't end up in the right place.

True, but that's why I said it should be a preference. I, for example, only use the LanBox to control around 50 dimmers and a few CMY scrollers. I never use anything except percentages. Obviously some people do the opposite :) [Icon tooltips] > No problem, it's implemented in v3.01! On OSX and Windows you have > tooltips, on MacOS 8/9 turn on Help. Ah, didn't notice that. Thanks. The manual could also use some clearing up in this area though. It mentions what the Master buttons do, but does not mention which icon applies to which. I figured out that they're mentioned Left to Right, but it doesn't state that in the text. > >Mini Feature Request #5- Can we resurrect something like the Channel > >Enable button?

OK [regarding Show Scene Data checkbox] > I'll ask the programmer, it's also my request;-) Cool, thanks. It certainly would save a lot of time! Spent a good 30 seconds today saying "hold on, I'm waiting on the computer for a minute" with the director glaring at me when I was trying to change a cue fade time :) [Regarding the Error Box in the bottom right and determining new messages] > > I vote for timestamp. Sounds fine. Could we then also put a Clock near it? I know there's a clock in the menubar, but from a usability standpoint it would be nice to not have to move the eyes so much. No big deal if it isn't a simple thing though. > >Feature Request #9- This one is a little bigger than the others, but... > >can there be an option to switch the interface into "Show Mode" that would > >cause all the colors to be toned down and inverted such that the majority > >of the screen is black and interface is not overly bright?

I'll check out the "Easy Access" control panel as well- I think it might be able to Invert Video.
