The hydrolux system is already able to switch colors with the hydrolux control panel, but why not take this a step further? I think that digital storm should tweak the hydrolux system a bit so that customers can create special timed color schemes with the hydrolux, such as when you make a theme for a windows computer like picking images and setting them to change every ten seconds , minutes, etc.The same should be for hydrolux. It would be nice to have the ability to set themes for colors like blue,then after ten seconds orange, then ten seconds after that red and so forth as the person decides. This should also be allowed for when starting up your PC. Like when starting your PC you can do the samething. This would make a really nice aesthetic feature as when you turn on your computer the tubes glow bright and flicker diffrent colors or whatever the customer sets it to. Granted I do not have a hydrolux system but I might consider getting it and I just feel that I should give this idea out to the community. Whether or not this is feasible the way the system is designed I have no clue. I just feel like throwing this out there.I just hope Alex can see this and see his opinion. Thanks for reading!

Is this even possible in your opinion or is the way hydrolux is programmed that it cannot be done even with a program update/

It won't be a program update. Would require a major update with the firmware which would have to be physically programmed boards.

ouch. That sounds like you would have to rework the WHOLE program. I thought that it would be major but I didnt think you would have to re-design the whole board.

Oh and I have decided to get hydrolux level 2. Is your team considering making this and should I hold off the order untill it is done or is the idea just not feasible?

This would not happen for quite some time. I would suggest ordering now.

It could be possible, but it may not be an option the team would add. We did add your suggestion. I would recommend seeing if we offer that when you're ready to order between those dates.
