I have something funny going on with the "gauges" page, looks like old graphics?

Hi 41,

Are you using some Windows feature to resize your desktop?
As Cumulus do a kind of "Print Screen", your display as to be "standard".

On Windows 7, I had set my Theme with large fonts with desktop zoom set to 125%! for my old eyes. Some time after, I realized that my gauges was 223px size, instead of 190px!  :o

Then, search on video mode side, maybe could be your graphic card setting too.

Hope this help,
Jacques

Hi Jacques - not at all unfortunately  :lol:

Are you saying that the size of the graphic on my Cumulus PC has something to do with how it looks on the web page? I run Cumulus on a Netbook, so it has an unusual wide screen format. But the graphics do not even look to be the right ones compared with others using the template.
Hopefully you can help as this is the only problem I have so far - but it's a big one.

Maybe I will have to bring forward my foray into the the "Steelseries" guages  :?

edit: I just re-read your reply about the screen scraping of the guages :(  How do other users have different coloured guages  :?:

Many thanks
Colin.

Hi Colin,

Yes, I think that we have found your problem!
As you see there is only 3 gauges that are faulty... the 3 ones that appear on your Cumulus main screen.
Cumulus is working on regular 1024 x 768 resolution and netbooks are often doing some "trickeries" to strech display to fill the screen.

As you mentionned, SteelSeries gauges are different... and of course it could solve your problems as they "calculate" gauges to draw independently from Cumulus.

Also, your colors for gauges could be changed by using Cumulus Configuration --> Colours menu to specify your own colors. Or you may use my "Cumulus Color Schemer" to "inject" to your Cumulus install, the colors that match your template.

Hope having help you solve that issue.

Jacques

Thanks again Jacques, I tried adjusting the 'on-screen' resolution but that made no difference, so this must be at a hardware level with the "trickery" as you suggest. :lol:
I'll have to see if it is possible to do a reasonably quick change to Steel Series before I go away on holiday next week. :roll:

Hi,

Difficult to follow here and Cumulus Forum  :lol:

For your problem, you could effectively force size, this is the recepice:

In Style.css, search thoses 2 lines :

background: url(images/compass.png) 0px 0px no-repeat;
background: url(images/windgauge.png) 0px 0px no-repeat;


after each of these, insert this line :
background-size:190px 190px;

For The Wind Dispersion Gauge, in gaugesT.htm modify that line (add all in red) :

<img src="images/windrose.png" id="WindRose" height="190px" width="190px" alt="Rose des Vents" title="entete=[Histogramme des Vents] body=[<table cellpadding=3 style='font-family: Verdana,Arial,Helvetica; font-size: 9px; color: #000055;'><tr><td><b>Représentation graphique de la vitesse et la direction du vent<br />(jusqu'à 3600 lectures)</b></td></tr></table>] delay=[1000]" />

This will save you time... to prepare travel!  :D

The windrose isn't perfect, but much better than it was. The other 2 gauges are right on the button - thanks again.
