A huge improvement?
See a simulation showing color up to the highest zoom level.

I don't see the point of such a change.

To get a solution to your problem, you should first specify the version of Windy you are using, the device on which you are using it, the operating system, etc.

i couldnt find combined view of satellite and radar precipitation images. could you help me?

In Satellite, you need to enable “Overlay with radar”

Extending the “pseudo-forecast” is often request by users. But it is simply the extrapolation of the last image of the satellite or radar loop, in the direction of the same stream. So it is not a true forecast. You can imagine specially in convective conditions that its accuracy is likely to be low.
Since you regularly observe satellite images on Windy, you have surely a relevant opinion on this matter.

I don't think suggesting using another app instead of Windy is a serious answer.

So why do suggest another app, wetteronline?
Meteoblue is a sister company of windy.com and windy shows their model and their meteograms as a plugin.

In your previous posts, I noted that you provided links to several weather apps. This isn't allowed on the forum and should be considered promoting competing apps. Therefore, you would do well to moderate your advice, otherwise I will do it myself.

Please check this related thread as some ECDIS users seem able to get GPX files via a converter to use them in Windy Route planer.

Windy also offers a combined view of satellite and radar precipitation images.

If you prefer Meteoblue's nighttime image quality to the one in Windy, you can use it. That’s fine!
Windy developers might even seek feedback from their colleagues at Meteoblue :)

If you had specified that you were using the mobile version, I would have told you that you can then use the small red slider to choose the days you want.

The source of temperature isolines is the same as the one used to draw the colored layer for temperature and to display the local temperature in the weather picker.
But the method used by Windy to draw these isotherms tends to smooth them out. So they are more useful on a large scale.
In addition, at a local scale you must take into account the resolution of the model which does not allow for sufficient granularity, for example in mountainous areas.

One could imagine Windy displaying the confidence or the predictability percentage, but only for parameters in the Basic panel. By clicking on a timestamp, this display could be achieved by indenting the following columns. Just as an option.

What you call the Operation run is the “Deterministic” version of the model. It is what Windy shows.
Most of the weather models are running also an “Ensemble” version. It is this version with its different members which allows to estimate the probability or the confidence of the forecast. But Windy does not display any data from this type of model calculation.
See this article to understand the difference between “Deterministic” and “Ensemble” version.
In Windy, the only solution to replace “Ensemble” forecast data is to compare the different models in the “Compare” or “Wind” tables.
