colors in xDrip notification / background

[fezulin]

Hi all! Every 5 minutes the xDrip-App receives a measurement from the xDrip. Each measurement is displayed as a point in a graph. The color of the points depend on the value: (Beta5 v2.0.5_2 update 2)

• too low: red
• ok: blue
• too high: orange

In discussions with Adrian I learned, that it might be planned to change these colors, to have the same colors as used in Nightscount.

• too low: red
• ok: green
• too high: yellow

So far: Fully agreement. That is a good intention.

But a problem occurs in case of the background color differs from black. I observed with Android 5.1, that the color of the background in the notification is by default white. And that I cannot change this color manually on my device. (At least: I have no idea how this can be done.)

The yellow points are difficult to recognize on the white background.

It would be very comfortable, if the background color was defined as black:

If there is a choice, the background color of the Widget should not be influenced by this change.

@fezulin thanks.

It would not be much work to make the chart background black for the Notification and keep it transparent in other cases.

@jstevensog how about your pebble integration. As this would cause merge conflicts (that I cannot test) it would be good to have it in first. Then I could add this without changing the pebble image generation bahaviour.

@AdrianLxM, I am still to get the install from the app working. I want to automate it if possible. But the PebbleTrend branch can probably be merged. I will get the latest master over the weekend and get PebbleTrend rebased to it. That should resolve any merge conflicts. The auto install can wait. I can make the PBW available to those wanting to try out the new trend watch face. Won't put it on the pebble store though, that would make the older xDrips look weird. Cheers

OK, I have checked PebbleTrend for merge conflicts with master and there are none with my local branch. I just need to go through the local branch and make sure there is nothing that cannot be pushed up. I don't think there is, but last time I was working on it, I was looking at enhancing the configurability of the watch face, and making the settings be done in the Pebble watch face settings rather than in xDrip. I am fairly sure there is no issue with the code, so if you wanted to merge, you could do so. The watch face included in the branch should work fine. I just cannot test it right now. Cheers

I'd like to add that having the green/yellow colors as current on a black background is really difficult to tell the difference to someone like me who is partially colour blind.
