In the new wind gauge make the wind speed needle a different color. The wind speed needle tends to blend into the background color of the wind speed dial.

I'll be making all of the gauge colours configurable; I did say this in the announcement of the first build with it in. But I'm wondering if yours is working properly; the needle should be in front of the red and green sectors, so should be easy to see, even with the default colours. Here's mine:

I think the problem is when the needle is at the current max value, one edge is then over the background, the other over the red. At a glance it looks like the red sector has a 'ragged' leading edge.

Oh, I see. Or rather, I don't, because that still looks clear on my PC :lol:. But it doesn't matter anyway, as it was always my intention that the colours would be configurable.

That's exactly what I'm getting at.
