I can always make the PSU dark in GIMP if you want. :mrgreen: :lol: :lol:...
It would be easier to just use a marking pen to paint it on the screen.

Btw, I forgot to add earlier that you are beginning to remind me of another gal who's like you in a number of respects, who runs a YouTube channel called FranLab.

I've finished the strip and installed it in the computer but I haven't tested it under PSU power yet.

I won't be posting much for a while. I'm having problems with getting blocked from the Forums, possibly by the Forums' Sucuri Firewall. I just got back on after being blocked for almost 24 hours.

Do you have a VPN so you can change your IP number? I use that to bypass the block..
It has been a lot of forums disruptions last week.

I don't have a VPN. Could you please let xenopeek know I'm not the only one having problems with disruptions.

Or we could do what is normally done and create a topic for the issue to see if others are having problems and what might be common about those having issues. Please create new topic and describe the error message(s) you are seeing.

I am not aware of a lot of forum disruptions in the past week. I had a problem for about 15 minutes yesterday (and it was not a Sucuri message) and that's the first time I have had a problem in a long time so not everyone is having problems.

New topic has been posted.

Most of the time, I don't get a Sucuri message because my browser, Brave, times out. I get the same time out problem when using Libre Wolf. You might want to confer with xenopeek since he is the one who responded via email to the message I sent the admins.

Since I had been having so much trouble getting blocked by the forums host site, Sucuri, especially in this thread, I will be continuing it in “Computer Case "Power Strip Project, Part 2”.
