Currently there is a dmx monitor that shows all channels grouped by fixture. However this runs in its own window and is not available in kiosk mode.
What I have in mind a new widget that will be a monitor of a fixture where I can select which channels values to show. Probably about the size of a button.
Then I can pick just the fixtures and channels that are of interest and easily show it in the VC.
Bonus features would be:
1. The widget's background colour changes to the RGB values (if available).
2. Fixture groups are shown as one. This would only be useful if the group has the same values in all the channels - something that we use a bit.
3. Hitting this monitor button will mute the fixture out (and or solo?) from the dmx stream.

Excellent suggestion - it's hard to find space on the screen for the DMX monitor with lots of fixtures and it doesn't always stay on top.
On point 2 - it would be good to be able to monitor channels groups. If there had been some "tweaking" so that some of the channels in the group were at different values, it would probably be adequate for the widget to display a warning that this was the case.
