You can change the colour of the text and background colour in parts of Weather Dispay to jazz up the display and/or have background images loaded. You can also enable or disable portions of the display to suit your tastes.

Colour

Click on Setup, General and Colour/Misc/Tide/etc, and select Setup Colours. Or you can right mouse click on the main graph, and select Setup Colours.

Buttons are grouped by the part of Weather Display they effect, and are labelled for the specific item they control.

Some screens let you set the background as an image file (BMP, JPG or GIF), e.g. the trends image, summary image, etc.

You can also set the colours of the graph lines as well.

Note: Using more than 256 colours in your Windows settings gives the best results.

For the weather dials page, i.e View, Dials, a black background and light green numbers looks cool.
