Customize the color scales of Windy layers

I don’t know why the UI is different, but you can check by yourself

@idefix37 Thank you, I can see it now, we will have a look at this.

The colors of Precipitation type layer can be now customized. That was not the case one year ago. See the post of @Miguelito67 here above who was asking this feature.

So it is a recent change.

I'm using Google Chrome.

I adjusted the color scale so that it shows jet streams.

Interesting, but at sea surface you ignore the winds below 40 knots !

Hi I've already customized few layers, but I can't find the meteoradar layer in the list. Why it can't be customized?
I've always wanted to change the colour for storms that exceeds 60dBz.
It helps to recognize poverfull storms which could produce hails and other dangerous things.
Thanks for the answer.

@pep2406 Weather radar scale cannot be customised, but thanks for the feedback.

How to change the base color of weather radar?
I have modified other colors with different reflectance, but when I modified the color of 0dbz, it didn't work, and this only occurs in weather radar.

You can delete the black color clicking on the small bin, but it seems there is no way to replace the grey background by another color.

By the way, you don’t need to keep all the intermediate steps when you want a discrete scale (not smoothed)

@idefix37
Thanks for answering！
If the gray background cannot be replaced, I hope the official team can also add the ability to change the background color of the weather radar ( I really want to change the darker color).
I will optimize the color layer, thank you for your reminder！

@idefix37 but that’s NOT THE POINT of the jet stream view. The Jet stream is the very fast winds that circle the polar region of the upper troposphere. The jet stream is an upper level phenomenon, not a surface one.

I KNOW THAT !
Who said the jet stream is on the surface? I said that if you change the wind color scale to a gray tint below 40 kt, you will clearly see the jet stream, but looking at the surface wind, you will not see the lighter winds below 40 kt!
