Newbie Question - I want to just change the off brightness of LED's on buttons to a bit brighter

By default, all LEDs reach full brightness when their corresponding element is at its maximum value.

For a button this would be when the button is pressed. On the software side this is the max you can reach in terms of brightness. Of course, some colors are brighter than others, but generally this is the maximum.

However our default button caps do lower the brightness of the LEDs quite a lot, so if you're looking for a bright solution, looking into different types of caps might be the thing you're looking for.

For example our Smoky Quartz caps allow the LEDs to be more visible in all states of the button. You can find these on the Intech store.

Thanks for the answer but I am actually just wanting to be able to see the LEDS lit a bit brighter when I haven’t pressed the button in their idle state as the colours I have chosen indicate to me what function the button is being used for

Oh, I see!

That should be easy to do as well in software if you don't really need the dynamic lighting. Something like this should do the trick:

This makes it so that the LED color/brightness is constant, so that the LED is always fully lit.

Thanks so much I hadn't clcoked you coukld do that with the +, IS there anyway to have the LEDS at for example 50% brigghtness all the time and then full brightness when actaully pressed?

Are you looking for a temp (only lights up while pressed), or toggle/multi-step? If it's a temp, I think it should be as easy as using a push-release block. On push, you do led_value(num, 1, 255) and on release led_value(num, 1, 127). You'll need a local var above the push-release block num=self:element_index().

You prolly also want to add led_value(self:element_index(), 1, 127) in the setup section to init them with the right intensity

I would do that like this tbh.

Reducing the alpha of the left LED state makes it so that when the button is in its released position, the LED will be at about mid brightness and when pressed will it just light up at max. You can play with the alpha slider to achieve the brightness you want at idle.
