Yellow trace of Wind speed on Graphs window C1.8.8

Post by Repairman77 »

Hi Steve; not a bug but I wonder if there is a chance of changing the yellow trace for another colour on the Graphs window for Wind Speed when selected (Wind gust shows OK in Green)? All the other graphs when selected have darker colours and are easy to see.
I assume I am not the only one who changes the background colour to white to see things a little clearer.
Yellow doesn't show up very well against a white background unfortunately.
Thanks,
Mike.

Right-click on the graph and choose the colours you want!

Thanks Steve; yet another option I never knew about. Changed it to red now.

I think the help is quite comprehensive, and there's a note in the help on this specific issue -- the wiki mentions graph colours in the cumulus.ini so we are probably well covered.

I have been wondering about the idea of doing some screencasts on some of the less obvious features. There are two benefits to this -- it is a bit of a promotion for the features (which some people like to see without installing the software) and it also covers as a training aide.
