ControlDeck Widgets
Every ControlDeck widget and its options.
Widgets are the building blocks of a ControlDeck. This page lists all nine and every option each one offers.
Every widget has a Name and a Position block with X, Y, Width and Height in grid cells
Put a space as the name to hide it.
Widgets
Button
Fires a trigger.
| Option | Default | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Mode | Press & Release | Press & Release fires on press and again on release, On Press Only fires once |
| Color | None | The idle color |
| Active color | Falls back to Color | The color while pressed or while feedback is on |
| Use solid colors | Off | On fills the button, off tints it |
| Border | Off | Draws an outline |
| Font size | 14 | Minimum 6 |
| Bold | Off | |
| Icon | None | Picked from the icon library |
A button with an icon and no name shows just the icon. With neither it reads Button.
Press & Release is what you want for a flash or a hold action. On Press Only suits anything that toggles, since the release would otherwise fire a second time.
Fader
Fires a level.
| Option | Default | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Style | Slim | Slim, Extended (with input) or Master |
| Use 0-255 | Off | Only changes the display, the value sent is always normalized |
Extended adds a step up button, a step down button and a numeric field. Master uses the wider master fader look.
Pan/Tilt
An XY pad that fires a position. Dragging inside sets pan on the horizontal axis and tilt on the vertical one. It has no options of its own.
Color
A color picker. The widget's border shows the picked color.
| Option | Default | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Picker style | Spectrum | Spectrum, Square + Hue or Bars (H / S / V) |
Cue List
Plays and monitors one scene.
| Option | Default | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Scene | None | The scene this widget controls |
The layout adapts to the size of the widget, so you can have a minimal readout or full controls.
BPM
Shows and sets a beat master's tempo.
| Option | Default | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Beat master | The project's primary beat master | Which beat master the widget controls |
In live mode there are four ways to set the tempo: click the number and type it, use the mouse wheel, drag the label sideways or tap the button. Tapping also syncs the beat. The border flashes on every beat.
Timer
Displays a timer in a seven-segment readout.
| Option | Default | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Timer Source | None | Which timer to show, grouped by category |
| Show decimals | Off | Shows fractions of a second |

Label
Static text.
| Option | Default | Values |
|---|---|---|

Panel
A colored background block.
| Option | Default | Values |
|---|---|---|

| Corner radius | 6 | In pixels, from 0 |
| Border | Off | Draws an outline |
| Border color | Automatic | Only when Border is on. Derived from the background unless you set it, and resettable to automatic |
Panels always render behind every other widget, so they group controls visually without covering them.
