Colored Temperature

[c0by85]

Could please add colored Temperature? Like in the Belchertown Skin?

[Daveiano]

You are thinking about the temperature in the stat tile on the top, right?

[c0by85]

Sorry forgot to include. Yes, right there.

[Daveiano]

Will be included in the next release! Here are some preview screenshots:

While I like the idea of different colors for the temp, I'm not a fan of having my monochrome display have a block of changing color.

Is there a way to simply color the data, numeric temperature itself, and leave the rest of the block alone?

[Daveiano]

Understandable. I will have a talk about this with my design-colleagues ;)

Issue is reopened and re-planned for the next release.

Thank you

@gary-hammer

my monochrome display

Wouldn't it be best to completely disable the coloured temperature if using a monochrome display? I guess if only the number is coloured, it does not add any value to the display either!?

[gary-hammer]

When I said monochrome, I mean the current look of the display.
I run on an Android tablet, it has color if course.

Perhaps just change the color of the numbers and leave the rest of the card alone

@gary-hammer

Here is an updated colored-temperatur.js file: colored-temperature.js.zip. Please feel free to copy that to your skins/weewx-wdc/dist directory.

You will also need to set this in your skin.conf:

[DisplayOptions]
    ...
    outTemp_stat_tile_color_text_only = True

And this change to skins/weewx-wdc/includes/html-head.inc 7f0b4ae#diff-dcc676d8bd36207fe0688d62d18851f93f457c5bb6530e35209128df1d8d2de1

Note: Its best to also set outTemp_stat_tile_color_transparency = 1

Please let me know if that works and looks good to you!

[gary-hammer]

I have installed the new file and made the changes indicated. Erased the output directory. Waited for a report cycle, then weectl report run to make sure all files were there and current.

So, how to get colors? My display looks the same, kinda gray. numbers.

Attaching the changes made.
wdc-color.txt

[Daveiano]

Do you have outTemp_stat_tile_color = True set in your skin.conf?

You do not need to add this at the top of the file, it should already be present in the skin.conf: https://github.com/Daveiano/weewx-wdc/blob/v3.5.1/skins/weewx-wdc/skin.conf#L152-L156

[gary-hammer]

Of course not .
It is default, False.
Made the change, ran the report, presto!
So, is the color temperature sensitive? Meaning blueish when < 32F red > 90F, etc.
I'm going to guess this is the color changing section:
outTemp_stat_tile_color_min = -20
outTemp_stat_tile_color_max = 40

Attached is what it looks like with the changes I've made.

Thanks!

Yes, exactly. You can read more about it here: https://github.com/Daveiano/weewx-wdc/wiki/Configuration

I guess the issue can be closed now?

[gary-hammer]

Yes sir, though I'm not the OP, for me it can be closed.
Thank you for the change.
I'm glad your design department agreed!

[Daveiano]

I'm glad your design department agreed!

Not completely, but sometimes a happy user is more desirable ;)
