LEDBlinky - Arcade LED Control software and Animation Editor - v8.2

I set my color in LEDBlinkyControls.xml as 0,0,0 for one button for that game which kills the leds. Perfect for racing and lightgun games which I don't want to be distract.
I can send you an example for it if you want to as I'm not near my pc atm.

Ah, cool! Thank you!
Does this technique work across all games without interfering if a specific game calls for that button to be lit a certain color?
Right now I have these two buttons active always:
Mouse Button 1 (Left click)
and Player 1 button 4
Looking for those buttons to not be lit up, UNLESS I call them to be from Colors.ini. Will this technique work for that? Cause I'm looking at that file and it's just not "clicking" yet in my head how to go about doing this.
Thanks

The default for a system will be taken over if you make a specific game setup within it. So set 1 button to red or blanked out all the rest will be shut off, don't think you can have "untouched" button to be system default at the same time, but kinda easy add these two extra for the games you want to do a special button layout for I guess.

All right, I must be not getting it, sorry. Maybe an example is what I need.
HOWEVER, I did get the issue fixed through just changing the MAME controls ... not ideal, but whatever.
Here's what I tried in that LEDBlinkyControls.xml file:
<emulator emuname="MAME" emuDesc="MAME Defaults and Control Overrides">
<controlGroup groupName="DEFAULT" voice="" numPlayers="2" alternating="0" defaultActive="Black" defaultInactive="0,0,0,0" jukebox="0" ledwizGlobalPulse="3">
<player number="0">
<control name="CONTROL_JOY8WAY" voice="" color="" primaryControl="1"/>
<control name="UI_CONFIGURE" voice="" alwaysActive="1" color="24,24,24"/>
<control name="UI_LOAD_STATE" voice="" alwaysActive="1" color="24,24,24"/>
<control name="UI_PAUSE" voice="" alwaysActive="1" color="24,24,24"/>
<control name="UI_CANCEL" voice="" alwaysActive="1" color="24,24,24"/>
</player>
<player number="1">
<control name="P1_BUTTON1" voice="" color=""/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON2" voice="" color=""/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON3" voice="" color=""/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON4" voice="" color="0,0,0"/> <--- this is what I added for player 1 button 4 to turn it off. But it didn't seem to have any affect. :/
<control name="P1_BUTTON5" voice="" color=""/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON6" voice="" color=""/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON7" voice="" color=""/>
<control name="P1_BUTTON8" voice="" color=""/>
<control name="P1_JOYSTICK_UP" voice="" color=""/>
<control name="P1_JOYSTICK_DOWN" voice="" color=""/>
<control name="P1_JOYSTICK_LEFT" voice="" color=""/>
<control name="P1_JOYSTICK_RIGHT" voice="" color=""/>
<control name="START1" voice="" color=""/>
<control name="COIN1" voice="" color=""/>
</player>
<player number="2">
