Changing day format and colours

Post by Feek »

Hi,

As a new user of Cumulus I'd like to be able to change a couple of things.

The date format currently shows american on my web page, '2012-01-12'. I'd much rather this was UK format, ie 12-01-2012.

The PC I'm running Cumulus on has all the regional settings correct for the UK. Can this be changed to UK format?

Secondly, is it possible to change the colours on the generated graphs on the 'trends' page? I'm finding the yellow on the outside temperature page to be a little low in contrast and would like to make it easier to see.

I've tried a quick search but couldn't see anything obvious for these two.

Thanks.

You can change the format of any of the date/time web tags using the 'format' parameter. See the help and the wiki for details. The defaults of most of the web tags are taken from the settings on your system.

You can change the colours of the graphs by right-clicking on them in Cumulus.
