Matt, mine changed this morning, and while not familiar, the color separation is very helpful. I think it is an improvement, one that will take some getting used to, but an improvement. And I agree that putting the labeling on top will also cause less need to change the opacity, but access to the alpha slider could still be helpful. Thanks for the changes.

Matt,

I routinely depend on the slider to reference the weather features to the underlying terrain features. The weather features are often not clear enough in the blended state, so the slider allows better definition of those, but then I can get lost so the slider allows me to go back to the terrain to reference the position. This is particularly important when location is most critical like convergences and wave (but it's not just used in those cases). I don't use the labels much, but position using geography patterns.

So, another vote for bringing the slider back. And if it could be made a little bigger it would also make it easier to use.

Thanks,

David
