Use It
Open up the WLED interface by visiting the local URL (projectname.local) that you set up during assembly.
Play around with the colors and effects until you find something you like. For this project, I really like the Colorloop effect, which changes the strip all at once into whatever color palette you choose. You can speed it up or slow it down using the sliders at the bottom of the Effects panel.
Once you have something you like, save it as a Preset. If you want it to start up in that mode, check the "apply at boot" checkbox.
Get out your Liquid Chalk Markers and start drawing on your slate. It's a lot of fun to see how the different colored markers interact with the colored LED lights.
I printed out a coloring page mandala from the internet and placed it underneath my slate to give me a reference.
Go make some beautiful glowing artwork!
