For iCUE version 5.14 or newer

Method 1

This is the quickest and easiest method, and it configures all devices at once.

1. Open iCUE
2. On the Home page Click the "+" next to Murals
   
   
3. Select Static Color
   
   
4. For the next section, since we are turning off all LEDs using this method, the aspect ratio for the murals effect will not affect this, select whichever one then select Next.
   
   
5. When selecting the color, you can decrease the opacity completely or you can get the R, G, B values to 0.
   
6. Select the name of the Murals effect then select Create

Method 2

This method will focus on doing this for a specific device.

1. Hover over the desired device tile and select Lighting Effects
   
   
2. Create a new Lighting Layer, select Static Color as the Lighting Type, select the Lighting Zones you want to affect, then adjust the R G B values to 0.
