2. Click Home in the upper left corner.
3. Click the + button next to Scenes.
   
   
   
4. Click Custom next to Type.
   
   
   
5. In the Effect dropdown menu, select Static Color.
   
   
   
6. Slide the bottom slider all the way to the left; this should give you the color black.
   
   
   
7. Enter a name for your custom scene in the Scene Name field.
8. Click Create.
9. Select your new scene in the Scenes section.
   

Method 2

This method disables lighting for specified products and retains settings without iCUE running.

2. Click Home in the upper left corner.
3. Click the device you want to configure on the Home screen.
4. Click Hardware Lighting.

6. In the Lighting Type section, click the CUSTOM dropdown menu.
7.  Click Static Color.
   
   
   
8. Click the colored circle in the Static Color section.
9. Set the # value to six zeroes (000000).
   
   
   
10. Delete any other lighting effects currently set to your device by clicking the menu button on the right of the lighting layer, then clicking Delete.
