GPIO Inverted

So, I am testing qlcplus on a raspberry pi. Love it...

GPIO is backwards. When at DMX value Zero the LED is ON. When at DMX value 255 LED is OFF. Totally Backwards, How can I change this for normal function?

Thank You

Create a generic dimmer fixture and apply the "invert" modifier to the desired channels

Oh, Ok, I knew there was a way to do it...

My other questions would be...

The GPIO Input/Output/NotUsed setting does not get saved with the profile. Probably something to fix? yes>?

Can we have a screensaver? All we need is an Image moving around. Can it have a password? Perhaps part of web-admin?
This is being used for whole house control on the Historic Fox Fullerton Theater in Fullerton California.
We are putting one RPi with touchscreen in the lobby to allow staff to turn on the houselights/worklights.
Another Pi/touchscreen will live backstage as a stage managers console. There will be a full blown QLCPlus DMX/MIDI Hybrid at the control position.
It will do a little more than run the lights. Chances are we will end up controlling the whole building with it.

This is on the PI3, I love how you have minimized the OS to include only what is needed, Can we keep it this way? I could run qlcplus in LXDE, with a screensaver, but would rather run the xcb method, if the Screensaver could be a native part of QLC, that would minimize the footprint further.

I might even be able to come up with a small bounty for the screensaver.

Also the thing about moving windows around... Push and hold ALT to move windows. And the 2D view has a close button on the Monitor, the DMX view does not.
I will be uploading pictures of what I have built as soon as everything is fully assembled.

Please Let me know,
