Feature Request, Color Setting for Tracks and Overlays #152

Open RealVegOs opened 1 year ago

RealVegOs commented 1 year ago

I would like to distinguish between overlay and recorded track. I would be happy with at least one setting. E.g. setting the color of one of the two. Best would be color settings for both. Or fixed colors. May be the recorded track still blue and overlay red? Would that be possible?

Or is there a gpx extension implemented so I can add a color to the gpx source code? Which one? Could you please give me the code? Something like

<extensions><gpxx:TrackExtension><gpxx:DisplayColor>Black</gpxx:DisplayColor></gpxx:TrackExtension></extensions>

But for AAT it's definitively not the gpxx extension.

Thank much for any consideration and thank muchy much for this beautiful and useful app!

How colors currently are implemented:

Tracks are displayed using colors based on altitude (this can be blue, depending where you life):
Routes selected as overlay use a predefined color as seen here:

Some ideas

Add a global setting to force the already implemented overlay color for tracks
Read color from GPX if present (there is no official tag, but maybe there are applications that add an extension tag?) and use this color for overlays.
Add a global setting to select a custom colors per overly slot. This would depend on some color dialog or RGB input field.
Or something else...?

Ops, I'm living in a flat (blue) region! Thanks much for this proposals! Global settings are good as color from GPX will not work for all. A simple RGB input field will do for me. There are Open Source JS color dialogs. I hope the effort is not that high if colors already implemented.

I cannot install v1.25 - even if I allow untrusted sources I get an error like, apk probably damaged (in German). Could you please bring it to F-droid, where I got the previous version too? THX and Greetings. Sorry, the debug version installed!

For this issue as it comes to colors I got used to how you display routes. I also got familar with the as you call it basic editor. It is clever for the possibilities of a touch screen. So this issue is irrelevant. THX anyway!

But I still have to cling to v1.24.
