MagicQ User Manual 199 Version 1.4.9.0
Soft button B has been renamed “Appearance” and it is now possible to select “Boxes” or “Coloured” for
the appearance of the buttons and faders. Names for buttons and faders now use a bold font.
It is possible to set custom pictures for the buttons in the Execute Window. Move the cursor to the button
you wish to set a custom bitmap on and then press the BUTTON BITMAP button and select the picture
file (bmp or jpeg).
If you wish to have separate button images for a button when it is inactive and active then create 2 image
files named with “up” and “dn” as the last 2 characters of the filename before the file extension – for
example
mybuttonup.bmp
mybuttondn.bmp
When selecting the file, choose the “up” file. MagicQ will automatically substitute the “dn” file when the
button is active.
Use SHIFT + CLEAR BITMAP to remove the bitmap.
22.6 Wallpaper
It is possible to set a background wallpaper using the SET WALLPAPER soft button. The wallpaper
should be a bmp or jpeg of the size set by the WIN SIZE button. For MagicQ consoles the internal touch
screen is 800x600 resolution.
Use SHIFT + CLR WALLPAPER to remove the wallpaper.
22.7 Modifying items in the Execute Window
It is now possible to view directly an item in the Execute Window using the View Item soft button. This
makes it easy to change FX and Chase speed quickly.
22.8 Automated Start
MagicQ includes several options for automated start of Playbacks and Executes. These options are
available on MagicQ consoles and on MagicQ PC systems when connected to a MagicQ USB Wing or
Interface. See Setup, View Settings, Playback, Activate Playbacks On Start.
