Changing colour of "Latest" and "Average" on Winddir gauge

Post by Stuart2007 »

I too would like to change font colours for the LCD descriptions on the WindDirection gauge see below.

I searched in vain for a response to that posting on the original version 1.0 topic (https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=5478)

...any suggestions, anyone? I presume this could be done in gauges.js

The lines calling the fillStyle, however, did not work for me. The text color did not change. I substituted ctx.fillStyle = "rgba(0,50,255,1)"; for "Latest" and ctx.fillStyle = "rgba(255,0,0,1)"; for the "Average."

The color labels, I think, add just a bit more clarity when reading the gauge.

Thanks for all your help and the availability of the SteelSeries Gauges.

George,

I like your idea of colouring the "Latest" and "Average" titles however I can't follow your discussion. I have tried both yours and Marks suggestions and neither of them seem to work. Exactly where did you add the ctx.fillStyle statements?

The simple way is to specify the initialisation parameter 'useColorLabels'
{
...
useColorLabels: true,
...
}

That will set the labels to be the same colour as the corresponding pointers, if that is suitable.

Perfect.

Should I have found it documented somewhere, Mark? I was looking at the right piece of code, should just have guessed that would be it (I was looking for a color being equalised, not just a logic switch)

I errr, haven't got around to creating any documentation for the library. I guess I should look at one of the automated systems, but never find the time.

But JavaScript is so simple it's self documenting isn't it :twisted: :lol:

Have you even tried doing a search for the word 'useColorLabels' - the word is found only once in the script 'gauges.js'... :roll:

Is that ever embarrassing :oops: :bash:

I should have known better to rely on just a visual search on a file that large. Won't easily make that embarrassing mistake again - at least not publicly.
