Not going to answer your question straight off, but I suggest an upgrade to Lightwave 8.3 - much more stable and free.

I sure hope this is what you are asking for...


To enable the different colors do this...
1) Open up your search which should be under the Start Menu.
2) Search for Files or Folders.
3) Type in lwhub.cfg and hit enter
4) There's going to be an entry which is located in the C:\WINDOWS
5) Click on it to open it. If it requires for a specific program to open it then select Notepad.
6) There should be only a couple of lines inside the lwhub.cfg file.
7) Now copy one of the Layouts that i have made and paste it on a new line.
The Layout that you have pasted should be below everything else that was there.
8) Save the File and open Modeler or Layout to see the new colors.
*Do not save the file if you have Modeler or Layout open because it will not change the colors.*
*Same goes for the Hub. Have it closed before saving the file.
*If you want to be on the safe side then create an identical file of the lwhub.cfg
before pasting anything in.*
- You can create your own Layout colors by using a paint program that you own.

AND - If you want to get rid of the new colors just access the file again and delete everything that you have pasted in.

He may or may not be on 8.3, that's a quicktime tutorial with lightwave in it, not lightwave itself.

Cheers!

If it's not the colours you are referring to, in that shot you are looking at the sliders in morph-mixer.... for controlling morph targets that have been setup in modeller. That's nothing to do with the hub though.

Cheers!
