Hi, fellas it must be a noob question but when I
(1) got the hex file using: https://config.qmk.fm/#/tkc1800/LAYOUT
(2) and flashed the hex file (both flip and QMK toolbox), the default LED control was 'breathing'.
But I wanna have static LEDs. Should I compile something? Thanks in advance, and pic of the board:

Hmm, I still haven't built mine so I never saw that the default layout didn't have a function layer present yet.
First, you'll want to make one of the keys on the 0 layer a modifier key (MO). This will be a key that, when held, allows you to go to the specified layer. Probably want to pick the right control or menu key for it. Select one of those keys and then click on "MO" in the "Layer Functions" category. You'll need to change the zero to a 1 when it goes on your layout.
Next, click on the layer 1 option and assign a key to be "BL Cycle." I'll use "B" for backlight in this example:
You might as well add some other functionality while you're at it like increase and decrease brightness and some media keys.
Once you have it set like you want, fill in the Keymap name to something unique and press "compile" in the top right of the editor. It will take a few seconds but should finish with a message saying "file size is fine"
You'll then have an option to download the firmware at the bottom:
Flash the new firmware to your board, hold the function key and press your BL Cycle keybind.
Super jealous of that white case. It looks so nice.
