There's been a few of these put on idea scale over the years. I did one a while back... https://line6.ideascale.com/c/idea/997056 Plus there are these few at a quick glance.. https://line6.ideascale.com/c/idea/1026588 https://line6.ideascale.com/c/idea/943262 https://line6.ideascale.com/c/idea/920142 Not sure if it's the same 20 or so people voting every time, but does anyone know if it's possible to merge ideas...?

Finally got around to adding something to ideascale if anyone wants to vote it up... https://line6.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Invert-whole-scribble-strip-display-when-selected/997056-23508

I've got those exact buttons Pier, and for indoor use they are brilliant. However, having done my first Helix outdoor gig last weekend (undercover, quite overcast, no direct sun on the stage), I also really struggled. Luckily I use snapshots so could use the inverted camera logo to just about keep track, but agree with the first post that if the whole scribble strip could be inverted that would be a lot easier.

I think this is the bit that has confused me - if the global settings had been reset to factory defaults (which I was expecting to happen having read about the update before carrying it out), then I would have gone back through the instructions, spotted my mistake and reloaded the back up, but as all the global settings retained my adjusted settings I didn't double check. Maybe it just depends what you're updating to / from or something, but needless to say I'll be more careful next time! Better safe than sorry...

Yeah fair shout there datacommando!! I think because the Helix said update complete and was working as expected then I inadvertently skipped that stage, but will definitely do that going forwards!! Consider me told!! :-) I guess my question should then be, what is the purpose of restoring the backup? Without doing this stage, everything works fine, the new models etc are all loaded, all my saved patches are there as they were etc, so why is this stage needed? I don't use IR's (still learning all the capabilities etc with the inbuilt cabs before opening that minefield!), would that impact the need to run this stage?

Interesting, I've never had to restore the system backup after updating firmware, my Helix Floor always remembers the global settings exactly as they were. Is it automatically restored as part of the update, or are you supposed to do this manually?
