# Kaleidoscope-LED-ActiveModColor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With this plugin, any active modifier on the keyboard will have the LED under it
|
||
|
|
highlighted. No matter how the modifier got activated (a key press, a macro,
|
||
|
|
anything else), the coloring will apply. Layer keys, be them layer toggles,
|
||
|
|
momentary switches, or one-shot layer keys count as modifiers as far as the
|
||
|
|
plugin is concerned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Using the plugin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To use the plugin, one needs to include the header, and activate the effect. It
|
||
|
|
is also possible to use a custom color instead of the white default.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```c++
|
||
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope.h>
|
||
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-LEDControl.h>
|
||
|
|
#include <Kaleidoscope-LED-ActiveModColor.h>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS(LEDControl,
|
||
|
|
ActiveModColorEffect);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
void setup () {
|
||
|
|
Kaleidoscope.setup ();
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ActiveModColorEffect.highlight_color = CRGB(0x00, 0xff, 0xff);
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is recommended to place the activation (the `KALEIDOSCOPE_INIT_PLUGINS` parameter) of the
|
||
|
|
plugin last, so that it can reliably override any other plugins that may work
|
||
|
|
with the LEDs, and apply the highlight over those.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Plugin properties
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
properties:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `.highlight_color`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> The color to use for highlighting the modifiers. Defaults to a white color.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### `.sticky_color`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
> The color to use for highlighting one-shot modifiers when they are sticky. Defaults to a red color.
