+#### Examples :id=indicator-examples
+
+This example sets the modifiers to be a specific color based on the layer state. You can use a switch case here, instead, if you would like. This uses HSV and then converts to RGB, because this allows the brightness to be limited (important when using the WS2812 driver).
+
+```c
+void rgb_matrix_indicators_advanced_user(uint8_t led_min, uint8_t led_max) {
+ HSV hsv = {0, 255, 255};
+
+ if (layer_state_is(layer_state, 2)) {
+ hsv = {130, 255, 255};
+ } else {
+ hsv = {30, 255, 255};
+ }
+
+ if (hsv.v > rgb_matrix_get_val()) {
+ hsv.v = rgb_matrix_get_val();
+ }
+ RGB rgb = hsv_to_rgb(hsv);
+
+ for (uint8_t i = led_min; i <= led_max; i++) {
+ if (HAS_FLAGS(g_led_config.flags[i], 0x01)) { // 0x01 == LED_FLAG_MODIFIER
+ rgb_matrix_set_color(i, rgb.r, rgb.g, rgb.b);
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+If you want to indicate a Host LED status (caps lock, num lock, etc), you can use something like this to light up the caps lock key:
+
+```c
+void rgb_matrix_indicators_advanced_user(uint8_t led_min, uint8_t led_max) {
+ if (host_keyboard_led_state().caps_lock) {
+ RGB_MATRIX_INDICATOR_SET_COLOR(5, 255, 255, 255); // assuming caps lock is at led #5
+ } else {
+ RGB_MATRIX_INDICATOR_SET_COLOR(5, 0, 0, 0);
+ }
+}
+```
