I’m more than happy using workbench and have not really had any issues. For me its simplicity wins me over. Arduino still baffles me.
I digress: with blade styles, I note strobe, rainbow, unstable etc are listed as names. The rest are just numbers. Is there a way of seeing what the styles are before using them, or is it a case of try them and see what happens?
If they had a descriptive name like others listed it would be helpful.
If you’re using my library then the numbers in workbench coincide with the preset order in your config. The style information and copyright comments included with the style provided with style code include the information you need, name, effects, etc.
example:
/* copyright Fett263 Rotoscope (Primary Blade) OS7 Style
Now, if you use my config helper tool to build your config AND you’re using library styles, you can also generate a “Preset Styles and Options List” which simplifies the comments in order in a printable document to make editing easier. It will list the styles and options in order. Just use the Config Helper to “Generate Full Config”, then click the blue “Preset/Style Options List” and the tool will generate a printable document with the options and Style Numbers that coincide with each in Workbench or Edit Mode. (Just watch videos at the top of the tool for how to use, etc.)
Note, “strobe, rainbow” etc. are very old, very simple styles from the original OS. If those are appearing you are missing this define and thereby wasting a fair amount of memory on your board. You should probably add this define and build current versions of those styles or you’ll be missing a lot of effects and capabilities when you use those.
#define DISABLE_BASIC_PARSER_STYLES
My sincerest thanks for taking the time to respond to my question.

If I remember correctly, if your preset has names (meaning a string after the styles) then the workbench will use those names I think…
