      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 strenght

      please help...
      thank you in advance!

        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 idefix,

          ,The default color scale used in Basic or Compare feature is not changed by your new color settings.'

          this is exactly what i mean.
          is there any way to change this too?

          cheers

            Hi,
            No, that’s not possible.
            Could you show a screenshot of your Wind layer with your new colors settings?

              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.

                        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...
                          is there a ,wish list' for further improvement of the app?
                          i would like to put this on the list...

                          best regards

                            You may answer the recent survey:

                            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....

                                  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.

                                      you described it quite well by yourself, but for paragliding the given color scheme is quite useless

                                          What are you calling the alert field ?
                                          The color scale that I was showing 4 days ago, is the one in the forecast table, not in the map.
                                          And as a conclusion to this very long thread - too long since 2022 - , and as already said, there is no way to modify the colors in the point forecast table.
