Font color change

Steve is it possible to change the font color (Outdoor..Example) to something other that the color of the text in the box?
Right now it sort of blends in and does not standout.
Maybe to the header color, or the clock color, or the digit color, or make a new entry so we can change it to what we want?
Thanks
Jeff

Looks ok to me -- does adjusting your monitor contrast help?
Or do you mean the word 'Outdoor' should be slightly different than the other text...maybe bold?

Yes I think "Outdoor" should be a different color to highlight the contents.

The problem is that if Cumulus 2 is ever going to see the light of day, I'm going to have to stop doing anything but bug fixes to version 1.

Well, maybe now is the time to call a halt and move on.
Cumulus seems to be quite stable and Cumulus 2 is the way to forward, what do others think?

I think you're right. I've brought this on myself to a certain extent by doing small, easy changes, so I guess I've increased expectation that I'll keep doing it. It's much easier to say "no more changes" (except serious bug fixes), so that's the approach I'm going to take now. I know that people have been waiting for version 2 for a long time, and I understand that it's frustrating - but hopefully the first 'preview' release isn't too far away now.

That makes sense. Now that we have a cut-ff point I'll put a stop to feature requests and wait for Ver. 2.
Thanks for being willing to help

I agree. Absolutely. Positively. Definitely.
But just for the time being maybe you could bold those headings up a bit...that should be easy enough!
Thanks & regards,

Actually, I did try that as a 'minimum cost' enhancement, after David suggested it, but I didn't like how it looked

. Probably something to do with the the font and size that it uses. I don't really understand why they
need to stand out anyway. They stand out in Cumulus 2, though - they're in a different colour

Is this a tease at what Cumulus 2 will look like -- our first glimpse?! Yipee
