Has anyone noticed that windy.com seems to show negligible colour coding gradient for stuff like cloudbase, cloud tops, etc?

I’ve completely changed the colour coding in Windy.

You can change it.

And the colors on the screenshot are not right because I use forced darkmode in my browser which messes up some colors.

Here, here’s what I have:

[[0,[255,0,255,256]],

Yes but it worked before their last UI change… Nobody is going to be doing this sort of hacking.

Where do you get this? I can’t see it in the app (I have a subscription). Is it only available in the desktop version?

I’ve better changed my name to “Nobody”, then. It took perhaps half an hour to change the colours of the relevant layers (cloudbase, visibility, a few more) to something which is both more easily readable and corresponds to relevant limit values, like 1500 m, 5000 m etc.

Looks like it… a workaround on iOS might be to use the pin.

I posted this in the windy.com user forum because they don’t seem to understand it. Or maybe the devs never read the forum.

The last windy.com update has cleared most of the mappings between altitude and colour.

Yes but you have a PhD.

And I still don’t see why they broke it…

They didn’t break it for me. Actually aside from that menu graphics change nothing else changed for me. But I am using custom colors that I set myself.

Anyone know what the small grey dots in the profile view of the Windy route planner mean? First time I see them
