When using Dark Mode for checking Agile slots I find the distinction between charge and hold slots quite difficult to distinguish and often flip to light mode to check. I think this is because the shade of blue used to show these slots is quite dark and doesn't stand out so well on a black background. Would it be possible to change the colour or to use different colours for the two types or even to use a dotted line for hold? I think it might improve visibility when glancing at the schedule window.

WindyMiller Good point, I think dotted line for Hold in the same thickness makes sense anyway.

As well as making it lighter when in dark mode. Will make some adjustments.

How about this?

WindyMiller

admin These are quite distinct and the lighter blue helps with dark mode.

As a more general point, perhaps charge from grid should be red? Hold blue, and export green? Though conscious not to change too many things at a time.

WindyMiller

admin Oooh is this an indicator of what's to come? Certainly it would support red for cost negative (going into the red), green for cost positive and blue in-between. Except, of course, during plunge sessions. Would idle be where neither import, export or hold were set and still be grey (ECO mode?)

Hold being dashed looks good. Charge as solid blue is OK. It isn't really charge from grid but charge battery and could be solar or grid. Battery is blue on GE so it makes WW consistent with GE.

WindyMiller Already there :-) might need a hard refresh for the styles to get picked up.

WindyMiller

admin So it is (after refresh). Seems to make dark mode even clearer than light mode now. Thank-you.

Perhaps in the text you could say what the dashed box means too?

WindyMiller even though I am not using Agile - I just took a peek at this as I am 100% in dark mode and this is now super clear. Thanks for the suggestion and quick implementation.
