Well depends on what you’re looking for… number and icon, just icon?
I would have to adjust the icons because the tab sticking out on the right would be a pain to deal with ;)
Not opposed to these but the numbers mean more to me because it tells me more… safe is 0 to 50… if the aqi is 49 the green picture really doesn’t tell me anything so let me see what I can do…

@cowboysdude Begging and choosing… I know… but maybe
config:
Air_qual: “icon”, // icon, text, or bothNot many people will likely find themselves in my shoes… But once you get to an Air Quality >300, the dark text was impossible to read on the black background through the mirror.

YES that I know is a problem… for some reason those colors don’t do well on black… so like I said let me see what I can do :)

- Not sure what has caused that for you… you are the 1st :) do you have the latest update?
I did a clean install of the module but still have the same issue. Im running at 90% zoom, so think that’s probably my problem. I’ll tinker later.

Just a thought… I prefer the numbers… the icons don’t really tell me anything…

Editorial
It dawned on me, after reading through the 154 posts in this topic, that people may not know what they are asking of a developer. Yes, this is an open format, and you’re supposed ask for a module, ask for features, voice your opinion (that’s what I’m doing) etc… But think about it. What seems like a simple request might mean hours (or more) of work for someone who does this for the fun of it. Someone who worked all day and came home to a list of requests. It’s like being married twice. Now, who the hell wants that? :^)
The beauty of this format is this. You can fork any repo of any module. Now it’s yours! You can make, or attempt to make, any modifications you like. After all, all the work is already done, right?
I think at this point, if you became stuck with a modification, you could ask for help on how to proceed. I did just that the other day. I worked for 4 days on a problem and could not solve it. It was only then that I asked for help and I felt rewarded knowing that I did all of the work. I was also deeply appreciative of help that was given me.
Where am I going with this?
The hell if I know!
Peace!

Those are cool. The number makes it immediately apparent what the conditions are. Nice work! And thank you.

@cowboysdude Looks perfect. The biggest issue I had was the dark red not having contrast on the black screen. Thought the icons may be a viable fix, but this is honestly the better way to go.
All this being said. If you are seeing be numbers and colors I was last week, you’re having a bad day. Maybe the best solution is just to color those readings the same as the orange tier. I don’t want to mess up your simple (and well-liked) format.
As @Mykle1 stated below, Its easy to overlook how much time you put into this. I definitely appreciate and applaud your work.
Thanks again.

@Reotch2 Thanks …
I was thinking about putting the UV AQ as header in one line then the circles and numbers under each corresponding header…

Since I’m the one that asked for it… I’ll be the first to say “I was wrong”. got a “yellow” reading this morning, and it was almost impossible to read on the white background.
Cowboysdude… you’re awesome… and I’m sorry to waste your time, but think you had it right the first time…
Anyone else want to chime in on their preference?
-
Sorry i agree with @Reotch2 i also dont like this new version, the text was much better cause i use the module on the right side now it took too much space.
-
@tbbear Yes that’s a css issue that I have to look at… dumb me only tested the left side :)

Well we can always change the red to a shade off of red so it’s easier to read :)
And you’re not bothering me nor are you wasting my time… I was brought up this way… if someone needs your help 100 times you help them 100 times… :)
I want to try something and I"ll post it you guys let me know what you think… it’ll be a little bit later tonight [US EST Time]…
