note, if at some stage you have clicked on save in the main screen customisation
then there will be issues with the new gauges
fix:
exit WD
then in the
wdisplayftp.ini file (in / Documents/wdisplay/)
Ah, yes. I’d saved some customisations, so I had to delete those bits from the wdisplayftp.ini file.
And it’s come good.
The new gauges look much better than the old flat ones. Much better!
A couple of things I noted. The new gauges are slightly larger, so I had to move one of my custom tags, which was being obscured, and the direction labels are slightly obscured, but nothing to worry about.
Trying to move the gauges was a nightmare. I’d click on the windspeed gauge, and it will leap up and to the left, then I’d try to move it back, and the wind chart would all of a sudden resize, and the rainfall section would disappear. I managed to get things pretty much sorted, but it’s very fiddly at the moment. Pretty much impossible to find the edge. I haven’t managed it yet.
But overall, these are great improvements.
Which lines in the wdisplayftp.ini file control the size and location of the two wind gauges? I might have a play around with that.
the problem with resizing or moving them is that they are scaled down in size a bit
in the settings file
(edit when WD not running)
[main screen custom]
it does not really matter
just change the number, and see what the result it
if its not enough, then increase or decrease that number
I could make it in the main screen customisation where you could adjust the size of the dials via a spin selecter
Thanks Brian I like the new dial. I just want to change the color of the number so I can read them and I don’t seem to be will to do that as you saw from screenshot
From my prior post the colors change when I click on the Dial and get the pop up but when I’m in WD itself there still the color I can’t read look at the screenshots I think that will make more sense
you are refering to the weather dials screen (e.g from view, weather dials)
i.e so you have changed the colour for the weather dials
you should be able to change the colour of the main screen gauges and not the weather dials gauges
from the colour setup
Hey Brian thanks for really appreciate everything you and your patience
I must be doing something wrong
Checkout screen shot you can see where change the dials to Aqua blue. Below that is when I’m in BWD main screen and I clicked on the window dial and you can see it’s aqua blue.
Yet when I close that pop-up window and go back to the main wd window the colors go back to the old colors
One more interesting thing is when I go back into the set up screen the colors go back to the original new more are blue
Hence why think I’m obviously doing something wrong for something so simple
When I change the colors I’m hitting okay and then okay again is there anything else
