    • RE: Satellite view has checkerboard overlay on free web version.

      @schilpat
      Thanks for your replies.

      I changed the Firefox mysterious "gfx.color_management.mode" from 2 back to 1 (which is the default), and the checkerboard has now disappeared.
      Sadly, color management now doesn't work correctly in the browser, which it appeared to do on setting '2'.

      So I suppose this is a solution for viewing Windy, but it would be nice if it also worked with the "gfx.color_management.mode" set to 2.

      Edit: Somehow this "gfx.color_management.mode" setting appears to be back at '2', and the checkerboard has not returned, so it's possible some legacy setting was messing things up.

      As an aside, there is a lot of info about Firefox color management online, and while it's possible to make it behave differently, it never seems to work correctly.

      @idefix37 Great.
      In case it helps, it's been this way for several months - since before the timebar was updated.
      It did work perfectly well previously, but I don't remember when it changed, or whether it was related to a Windy update or a Firefox or driver update.
      Let me know if I can provide any information to help.

      'No errors' reported in the Windy console.
      WebGL is enabled and running in Firefox, as far as I can tell.

      @idefix37 thanks for your reply.
      This is a typical view - the checkerboard is more obvious in the daylight section, but it's always there.
      It's the same with Radar on or off.

      As title. It's been like this for a long time. Using Firefox 145.0.2 in Windows 10.
      If I subscribed to the Premium version, would this change?
      I'm not interested in the 'App', only the website version.
