LPS' Color Scroller Wizard allows you to create and maintain a list of color scrollers used in a show. Each scroller defined in the wizard is a model for a color scroller that can be assigned to multiple units. This allows you to easily track and change your color scrollers globally within the show.

A scroller definition includes a unique name to identify the scroller, the number of colors in the scroll, the specific colors within the scroll, and the make of the color scroller. The scroller's name can be anything you like. The number of colors in the scroller is ten by default. However you can set this number to whatever suits your purposes.

The colors within the scroller can be entered manually or chosen from the Color Wizard. The table that displays the colors within the scroller includes the color's number, position in the scroll and, if recognized, a color swatch. Double-clicking on the color swatch displays the Color Wizard.

A simulated scroll is displayed above the table. This allows you to get an idea of what the color scroll will look like. Finally, the make of the color scroller can be assigned by select it from the drop down list of popular color scrollers, or by typing the desired make into the text field.

Once a scroller has been defined in this wizard it can be assigned to a unit via the popup menu in the unit's color field. This menu is displayed by right-clicking on typing the Alt-Down Arrow key combination while in the unit's color field. Any units that have a color scroller will display the scroller icon instead ofthe gel frame icon in the Instrument Properties Window, allowing for easy identification of the use of a color scroller.
