# Progress Effects

Each progress effect has some standard options, to customise them. Individual effects have additional options, listed alongside them.

## Standard Options

* Enabled
* Progress Colour\
  The colour to indicate the progress of whatever event is happening.
*   Base Colour

    The base/background colour of the progress indication.

In addition, there are two global options:

* Reverse the direction of the progress bar
* Base temperature\
  Heating/cooling progress bar will make '0' the temperature specified. Suggested value is just below room temperature, so that the progress bar starts closer to the end of the strip.

## Events

### Printing Progress

Matches the progress bar in OctoPrint's UI, on your LED strip.

### Heating Progress

Triggered when a blocking heating command (`M109` or `M190`) sent to the printer.

Additional options:

* Index of tool to track\
  Leave this at 0 for single extruder printers, for multiple extruder printers you can choose a single tool to track.
* Enable tracking tool heating
* Enable tracking bed heating

### Cooling Progress

Triggered on print success, this will display the progress of the printer while it is still cooling.

Additional options:

* Track cooling on bed or tool\
  Select one, since they usually cool down at the same time.
* Cooling temperature threshold\
  The temperature when cooling tracking should stop

{% hint style="warning" %}
Don't set cooling tracking below room temperature, or this effect will never end!
