Hi Lee,

You probably talk about colors.CCS! This is a plain text file that
contain all colors to be "injected" to your Cumulus configuration
to have a perfect color match for your gauges and graphs.

You could try to manually change the 41 colors in Cumulus.ini
file with the one indicated inside colors.CCS file... or simply install
"Cumulus Color Schemer" utility available in the download section
(File name: CCS_Eng_V1b)

With that all is done.. by the click of a button!

Hope this help,

Regards,
Jacques

Hi Lee,

In addition I've attached the Link to the  'ColorPic' program.
http://www.iconico.com/colorpic/

It's a nice tool (free download) to check exact colors in RGB and #hex, so you can enter any value to match any colour.

Cheers,

Arthur

Hi

What's the best way to downlod the internet folder to the web host?

and after I do the color schemer, will the colors change on the cumulus, that is running on my pc now?

Hi Lee,

It help me if you mention which template you have downloaded!
But, to upload to your site, you have to use a ftp program (I suggest FileZilla)

For your other question, Yes, CCS will change colors of your Cumulus on your Pc
because gauges are produced by a "PrintScreen" of what is displayed on your screen!

Cheers,
Jacques

Hi

It's the weather blues template.  Still working with the color schemer, it's not changing anything yet.

Update: colors are working now
