      @naya Perhaps I can help a bit. Changing Color Codes can be found by first clicking the three horizontal bars in the upper right corner of the Windytv screen to reveal a Menu of various customization items. Next, click Settings, the first option. Near the bottom of the Settings Menu you can find Modify Layer Colors. At the top of that menu is a drop down menu where you can choose the layer you want to modify. From that point on, you can spend hours trying out new combinations. If you mess things up, don't worry since you can reset the colors to default. I don't know about the polka dot thing. The National Weather Service has an extensive glossary of weather related words. You may be able to find help there.

        When viewing cloud cover, the "dots field" is for rain.

            Weird. Let me do the steps again. Maybe you missed one.

            • In the upper right corner of the Windytv screen, press/click the three horizontal bars to reveal the menu

            • Next, press/click Settings...the first item listed

            • Look down the next menu about ¾ dozen the page and you can find Modify Layer Colors

            • Now enjoy changing the colors.

            Good luck!

              Is there a way I can send you a picture of what my settings page looks like?

                You can attach pictures to these messages. There is a row of formatting options when typing your message. Click the icon that looks like a cloud with and arrow pointing up on it.

                    Okay, so I did that and I was excited to see the options to take a picture or to use my photo library, but when I did, it closed the app and was reset when I opened it up again. It just keeps closing me out :(

                        @JimInSanDiego mine also does not show "modify layer colors" perhaps because it's been deprecated in the updated versions?

                          Setting the color scales is only available on desktop (website) or in the tablet app.
                          But not in the phone app. That’s probably the reason why you don’t find this setting if you try finding it on your phone.
