Use and customize the curtain warmer

Short answer: Click Curtain Warmer in the Controls window to show it at any time (2-second crossfade). Choose which warmer appears in Show Settings → Curtain Warmer Selection: the Show Master (made for your show), the App Master (generic gold sparkles) or your own still image (.png or .jpeg).
