change wind strength color settings

@mista-fly Hello, you can change colors for every weather layer in settings -> Customise color scale at the bottom.

@mista-fly
It is not necessary to wait next update. See this article to change the color scales:
https://community.windy.com/topic/10336/customize-the-color-scales-of-windy-layers?_=1652277749758In addition as example you can use this color scale for wind:

@idefix37
thank you idefix!
did not know this, tried it, and it works.
but as far as i see it is not working in the wind overview?
meaning if you compare all 5 weather models
and see the wind strenghtplease help...
thank you in advance! -
@mista-fly
I don't know what is the new color scale for wind you have made.
The default color scale used in Basic or Compare feature is not changed by your new color settings.
These are the default colors used by Windy which, by the way, don't match with the colors used in the Wind map.
But by chance they match quite well with my own color settings between 0 to 40 kt. With the higher wind speeds Windy uses a uniform purple color when I add many other ones.
So I am quite happy with this color pallet.

Hi,
No, that’s not possible.
Could you show a screenshot of your Wind layer with your new colors settings? -
@idefix37
acually i wanted to post a screenshot but this seems not to ve possible with my mobile.if it is not possible to change the colors for the comparison view of the five weather models, i dont see any sense in changing them at all.
using it for paragliding there is a totally different lets say green wind frame in comparison to kiting where you need stronger winds.best regards

e.g. for my sports i would like to have it blue from 5 to 12 km/h, 13 to 25 green 26 to 35 orange higher than 36 red just to make an example
-
@mista-fly Hello, you can change the color scheme only on the map, not the detailed forecast.
-
@korina
thank you corina, idefix already told me the same.
i did not want to believe it because to me this makes no sense at all.
i explained it already in my post above...
but in a nutshell again...
different kind of sports need different strenght of wind so with paragliding e.g. anything above 30 kmh should be red.
if you go surfing or kiting you easily could add 20.hopefully this is changed in any futher upgrade of the app.
i know a lot of para dudes who would highly appreciate that option to personalize these colors too.
cheers

one more question on this topic...

You may answer the recent survey:
https://community.windy.com/topic/21354/windy-wants-to-know-your-opinion
There is a wish list included.
BTW you have not shown a screenshot of wind layer with your customized colors. I'd like to see it. -
hello there!
after a few updates and some new wind models i am still curious if this will be possible one day?
any updates on this topic?
maybe some betatester insiders?cheers

hello,
just wanted to bring my number one wish for windy up again, for paragliding the given colors are totally useless, please give us the chance to change this.
e.g. burnair colors are much more detailed and finer....

@Mista-Fly
You already posted many messages about the question of colors, mainly, if I correctly understand, for wind speed in the meteograms.
I don’t think your color scale is so different from the scale used by Windy.

@idefix37

also see post from 11.07.22
you described it quite well by yourself, but for paragliding the given color scheme is quite useless -
@Mista-Fly
i mean the wind layer in the forecast overview
