Layouts

A layout is a canvas where you position your RGB devices to match their physical locations. SignalRGB uses this spatial information to determine how lighting effects move across your setup.

What is a Layout?

Section titled “What is a Layout?”

A layout is a map of your devices. You place each device on the canvas to reflect where it actually sits on your desk or inside your case. SignalRGB reads that map to coordinate lighting effects across all your devices at once.

Without a layout, each device runs effects independently. A wave effect on your keyboard has no relationship to the same wave on your mouse or fans. With an accurate layout, that wave sweeps across your entire setup as if all your devices are one continuous surface.

What Layouts Control

Section titled “What Layouts Control”

Layouts store three things:

  • Device positions: Where each device sits on the canvas relative to the others
  • Device visibility: Which devices are included in or excluded from the current layout
  • Layout Brightness: The brightness level saved with the layout

Saving and Switching Layouts

Section titled “Saving and Switching Layouts”

You can save multiple layouts and switch between them at any time. This lets you maintain different configurations for different purposes without rebuilding your setup each time.

Common uses:

  • A desktop layout for your full setup
  • A compact layout with only your primary devices
  • A layout with specific devices hidden for certain effects
