Solaris-inspired Light Mixer built to work in /obj context with Redshift.

Houdini /obj/ Context Light Mixer

Obj Light Mixer is a custom panel built to mimic the Solaris Light Mixer functionality and appearance (currently only the "Sliders" tab is reconstructed).

Only Redshift is supported.

How to use

Drag and drop Redshift lights from the network onto the Light Mixer panel to control them. If any buttons are disabled or missing, that means they aren't available for the chosen light type.

Installation

1. Put the downloaded folder somewhere on your drive.
