Steel Gauges wind direction

[MrFlash]

Hello, the wind direction steel gauge shows two pointers. Both have the same colour and it is hard to know which shows the current direction. Is it possible to disable the other pointer?
Thank you.

Hello, Martin,

Undoubtedly it is possible, if you can get to and then modify the source ssGauges files themselves, but why bother? The gauges for current wind direction only show 16 compass points and they are reflected in the top digital display. The average for the calendar day is shown in the lower one.

Regards,
John

I decided this afternoon, Martin, to have a bit of a look around.
If you go to - using your favourite FTP programme -
template/homepage/blocks/ssGauges/scripts
you will find within a file named gauges.php
Download that file and save a copy. I'm sure you know that!

Open that file using your favourite text editor (I use Notepad++),
Scroll down to line 213 where you should find:
dirAvgPointerColour : steelseries.ColorDef.GREEN,
Yours will not be GREEN.
Play around with colours, uploading to your site each variation, but some will not work, so expect to waste a bit of time.

Sorry, it is not the answer to your question, but I hope that it might help.
NOTE: I have changed my own pointer to green, so feel free to look at the result on my web site.
