Notes

  • The personality file is updated every day, online at around 7 PM EDT
  • The personality library is fully updated from two files - heads.all and icons.all
  • The icons.all updates gobo/beam icons. Icons.all is included with each release of MagicQ, so is not normally needed when updating personalities.
