Overview
The default colors for Usage and Generation can be changed from the Preferences menu, under Settings -> Preferences. This can be helpful for users with red/green colorblindness. Note that this is a global change - every register without a custom line style will be modified.
Instructions
Step 1: Click the menu(≡) in the upper left, then select Setup → Other Settings
Step 2: Once you're on the ‘Settings’ page, click on ‘Preferences’ on the left side.
Step 3: Navigate down the page to ‘Color that represents energy usage (negative numbers)’ and ‘Color that will represent energy generation (positive numbers)’. Clicking the colored box containing color hex codes will bring up a color selection palette. The selected color(s) will replace the default red/green coloration on every register (including the shaded areas "Energy Used" and "Energy Generated") except those that have different colors/line styles specified on the Preferences page. Once done, click ‘Save’.
Information
- Note that you must click ‘Save’ at the bottom of the page to save any changes. The main graph page will also need to be reloaded to show the changes. Changes here cannot cause a loss of historical data or other problems, so feel free to experiment!
Step 4 (Optional): You may use custom register styles to change the color and line style of a specific register. To do this, just click on ‘Add Custom Register Style’.
Troubleshooting and Tips
- Below is an example where a subgroup of registers is configured to use unique colors and solid (rather than dotted) lines:
