Question

Can someone explain the significance of the order of colours on a gauge? I have 3 scale areas.

As far as I can see, the 1st colour sets the 1st part of scale, the 3rd effects the 2nd scale, the 5th set the main bar colour and the 3rd scale, the 6th sets the lighter colour on the main barthe the 2nd & 4th doesn't seem to do anything, That can't be right?

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

The GaugePlugin docs could be a bit more explicit. There are six colors, default: dark red, light red, dark yellow, light yellow, dark green, and light green. The dark colors are used for the lower thin bar and for the left part of the upper thick bar (color depends on where the value is in relation to the lower bar). The right part of the upper thick bar uses the light color equivalent of the color in the left part.

It all seems to clear when it's explained like that

Why doesn't someone update the topic ?

Typical for an open source project: If someone finds a need he/she will do it.
