screen shot of new dials


Hello,

So I updated to the latest build and I got the new wind dials, which do look nice :slight_smile:

The numbers indicating the windspeed are hard to read based on color. Question, where do I change the color of the numbers inside windspeed?

Also I have been following this thread alot. I hate to sound dumb, but I can’t figure out how to re-size them

Do you have one of your cool youtube videos for this?

Thanks

you can set the dial colour in control panel, colour setup

I have posted above how to resize

Thanks, will try when home.

Ref sizing. I saw that. Stupid question but what is the unit of measurement? inches, pixels etc

speedgauge x= this is the width

speedgauge y= this is the height

the xx and yy are the coridinates

abcompass1 x= this is the width

abcompass1 y= this is the height

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


or easier just delete from the wdisplayftp.ini file, when WD is not running
speedgauge x=
speedgauge y=
abcompass1 x=
abcompass1 y=

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

you should be able to via the colour setup, main screen…dials numbers

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

I’m not sure how to Word this but

In the control panel for colors I do change them for the dials

In the main WDs screen they don’t change if I click on something in the main W screen pops up a new window the colors change their

Look at my prior post where I show this you can see in WD it’s one color print in the pop-up it’s another color

Here is the screenshot again take a look and I think you’ll see what I mean


yes
but
in the colour setup, you can change either the weather dials or the main screen gauges colours (different tabs)

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

I have tested here and I can change the colour of the numbers inside the windspeed and wind direction gauge OK


We’ll go figure now it works I don’t know what the heck I was doing wrong before

Thanks again Brian I really appreciate it

In my defense I did have surgery two days ago so either doing this with one arm the pain meds im on s preventing you from doing this :slight_smile:

I have updated the compiler to the latest version (which is supposed to support High Sierra better)
and so the latest update of WD mac has that update :wink:

That is good news !!!

I want to get a new iMac, but it will come with High Sierra. So want to make sure WD works first :slight_smile:

I see there is new update (well same version but newer date). Will grab that :slight_smile:

Appreciate all your efforts !!!

If I don’t talk to you have a great holiday !!!

Any updates with High Sierra ??

I have a test iMac I could update to if you want me to test anything

I cant see any reason why it would not work
only issue might be with the silican labs USB driver
the version of OSX after this latest is a different story though, its 64 bit, and its not clear if 32 bit apps will run at all
I need to wait for the compiler to be updated to 64 bit for OSX
the new linux version is 64 it though and that is very similar to the Mac version
