Maybe this helps some, I wrote it quite a while ago.
Light Modes
You can run up to 50 light modes, can be more though. When you add a mode it appears in the widget list where you can set the slider values. The sliders automatically show based on number of ports you have assigned. As you move the slider the light will respond instantly, once you release it the value will be saved. You can also type in a value from 0 - 4095, later will be an option to show 0-100% instead. When you hover an icon a text appears telling you what the button is.
The checkmarks are obvious, they indicate the days the mode is set for, the checkbox with an orange icon is the next schedule and the green checkbox is the current light mode.
The green toggle switch allows you to disable the light mode. If you disable "morn" based on image below the orange checkbox will move to "test" mode as that's now the next schedule.
The pencil is to edit the light mode, it pops up the same screen used to add the mode.
The X deletes the light mode.
The up and down icons move the position of the light mode. Note the backend doesn't care what order you put these in, it takes all modes and sorts them based on time / day so you can have day before morn and it wouldn't make a difference. It's only so you can view order you prefer.
You expand a light mode by clicking on it, the sliders will appear for that mode and the lights will automatically switch to those settings. When you toggle the mode closed the light will resume back to the current light mode settings.
There are no temporary modes yet but technically you can create a light mode with no days selected so it never runs and when you want to view just toggle open and lights will change. When finished close mode and it'll go back to schedule.
The current mode is just something I was getting carried away with, in the end I want visual effects for everything, the beams on the tank will grow/shrink based on light and tank grows based on channels assigned in system. I would love to have an automated tank running with the lights filling it. Also have plans to have a sun moving across the sky, user can switch view they like. So much fun to be had but I need to stay focused. :)
Later I plan for more flexibility with the scheduling but this is a good start.
