Hi at all after a long time

I've begin a new project with a simple rgb (in real r, b, g + dimmer dmx channels) device, and I've created a new (experimental) fixture to drive it, but when I've tried to use it in a virtual console, I've encountred some mistake...

First of all I've got a wrong setup adding all 4 dmx address at the click and go button,with obviusly problems of output... but when I've correct it in the existent setup (more over 10 times) QLC+ do randomly freeze, quit or apparently no do output... the only way to correct the problem was start a new project, with a fresh fixture selection and the right values assign at the click and go button... but I've lost more over 4 hours in troubles before to reach the right way to solve the issue.
I think that would be a good idea to limit the selectable input for the click and go buttons to exclude some problems like I've meet...

Second trouble was the no feedback in the color picker about the selected color... is possible to add a spot, a circle or something like this in the pop-up picker to sign the color actualy selected in the picker?

Third issue, is possible to have a feedback of the changes during a chase or a cue fade where the colour changes, in the color of the click and go button? it's strange see my lights go from red to green and go on, and see the click and go button stay ever at the last color picked...

Fourth, I don't understand very well the function of a slider in a RGB click and go button... isn't it a little redundant to select a colour in the picker where you can see the light and the darkness variations of this colour and change it again with the slider? in my opinion, would be more usefull to can chose got only the button or got both, button and slider together?

Fifth and last, (and it's a request) is possible to have some visual feedback of the rgb colours in other sliders? I mean... Can I have in a VC a click and go color picker and 3 sliders that can interact together (when I select a colour the sliders change values to show the rgb values, and when I change a value trought a slider, the colour of the button change following the variation) instead add the values in HTC mode? or is previously possible and I'm not skilled to much to do it alone?

Every feedback would be appreciate, thanks in advance :)

Hi for the first time :)

I'm new to QLC+ but I already spent some time with it trying to control LED RGB controller and I have a few problems similar to Willy_Pinguino's.
I have a very simple 3 channel LED RGB controller (EC-133DMX product of polish company Enterius) with LED RGB Stripe connected. I used the Generic RGB fixture to simulate this and created a very simple Virtual Console with four faders:
1. One with Click % Go RGB function, so I can pick any color from color picker
2. Three for separate level control for R, G and B channel.

And then some problems apeared :)
First of all the color picker does NOT work in web interface, which is very frustrating as I wanted to control my light with phone.
Secondly I can't use option to "Monitor the selected channels and update the slider level" for the three RGB faders because when I enable it, they doesn't work. Or rather they work but only while I'm keeping mouse pressed over it. When I release the button the fader goes to 0 and the light goes off.
Thirdly I would also like to have the color picker slider automatically updated with actual color chosen with three RGB level sliders for RGB channels.

Is there any way to make this work in a way I would like to?

I would be very grateful for any tips.
