I think we've pinned out a small bug

Hi Steve,

maybe a problem with "select a graph": modifying a color works fine but it is not stored in the preferences. After a restart of cumulus the initial color is still present (tested only with "total rain" which keeps its YELLOW color)

bye

Yes, this is intentional, really, in that I didn't write the code to do it, as I see Select-A-Graph as more of a 'temporary' view. The colour change all happens automatically without any intervention from Cumulus, so it was very easy to add. It would require me to add quite a bit of (very boring) code to save and restore the colours.

The correct colors show on the local console, but when I log into the weather station, all colors are in RED and NOT the colors I specified in the local console. As such its hard to discern the difference between the wind direction and the average wind direction.

I had just noticed this myself and searched for this thread to post about it. Somehow I had completely overlooked this part of the thread previously - probably because I was away while it was going on, and only saw the first post on this page.

I don't understand what's going on; clearly sometimes it's OK and sometimes it's not, and it's not obvious to me what causes it to be OK or not. I don't know if I'll be able to fix it, all I do is tell the graph to take an image of itself, so it should appear exactly the same as it appears on the screen. I'll investigate further tomorrow.

For me, the situation is resolved. It took a couple of forced web updates to get the overlay there properly (a fluke I would imagine) but I've not experienced any further problems with it. The console and overlay now match fine.

Thanks. Mine seems to be OK at the moment too. Very odd.
