+## Effects and Animations
Not only can this lighting be whatever color you want,
if `RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_xxxx` or `RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS` is defined, you also have a number of animation modes at your disposal:
Note: For versions older than 0.6.117, The mode numbers were written directly. In `quantum/rgblight.h` there is a contrast table between the old mode number and the current symbol.
-The following options can be used to tweak the various animations:
+### Effect and Animation Toggles

+### Example Usage to Reduce Memory Footprint
+ 1. Remove `RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS` from `config.h`.
+ 1. Selectively add the animations you want to enable. The following would enable two animations and save about 4KiB:
+
+```diff
+ #undef RGBLED_NUM
+-#define RGBLIGHT_ANIMATIONS
++#define RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_STATIC_GRADIENT
++#define RGBLIGHT_EFFECT_RAINBOW_SWIRL
+ #define RGBLED_NUM 12
+ #define RGBLIGHT_HUE_STEP 8
+ #define RGBLIGHT_SAT_STEP 8
+```
+
+### Animation Speed
You can also modify the speeds that the different modes animate at:
If you need to change your RGB lighting in code, for example in a macro to change the color whenever you switch layers, QMK provides a set of functions to assist you.

+## Hardware Modification
+
If your keyboard lacks onboard underglow LEDs, you may often be able to solder on an RGB LED strip yourself. You will need to find an unused pin to wire to the data pin of your LED strip. Some keyboards may break out unused pins from the MCU to make soldering easier. The other two pins, VCC and GND, must also be connected to the appropriate power pins.
