Moon phase incorrect
-
Recently updated to 37.2.5.
Home Screen shows temp, wind speed, heading, and now moon phase. However, it’s the wrong phase. Today it’s showing a 3/4 moon (moon lit from the left), but the current phase is 1/4 (lit from the right). They’re both “half lit” but the light is just from the wrong side for the current date.Note that the phase is shown correctly when the data is shown in detail when Basic or Meteogram is selected - moon phase picture shows up directly below the temperatures. At this time it is showing the 1/4 moon in those fields.
Thanks.

Please could you post a screenshot.

Yes, screenshot is below. I now noticed that the moon graphic is composed of a blue shape. And this blue shape is used in both locations. However, in the Meteogram, the shape is on top of a white background, and on the Home info, is displayed on a dark background. When on the white background, it appears to be the correct phase [1/4 moon], but on the dark background, the blue shape [since it's lighter than the background] gives the appearance of the incorrect phase.
A solution may be to give the graphic in the Home tab a white background, but I would not recommend this since it would make it difficult to distinguish between full moons and new moons. I.e. the full moon graphic I believe is an empty blue ring, so when on a white background, there's a white full moon. And the new moon is a filled in blue circle, so on the white background it appears 'dark,' like the new moon. However, both displayed on a dark background would be confusing as both appear a full circle that's light in color, indicating a full moon. I also attached a graphic of the moon phases.

Pictures are better than words, so I created this table to try to show what I said in my previous reply, hope it helps.
