I hope one of the options is to revert to the original color scheme. There is a learning curve when you start using a new piece of software and having the color scheme in mind made it easier to quickly discern the conditions for the day. Now, I'm having to go back and forth to the color bar on the right to relearn how to read the charts.

You can get the original version at old.skysight.io


I do apologise for inconvenience caused, we tried not to surprise anyone by having a long beta period and now drip feeding the improvements rather than doing them all at once.

The new colour scheme is very similar to the previous version, just with a slightly expanded range of colours - one of the most common criticisms of the previous version was trouble identifying the difference between one colour and the next, so by stretching the colour palette slightly we're able to increase the difference between steps.

As mentioned above, we are working on adding some degree of user control to the scales, mostly for the intent of serving our colourblind users with a couple more choices, but if demand is there it will be extended further to support other weird and wonderful scales of your choosing.

https://old.skysight.io/ has the previous version of SkySight and it will remain available until we're sure everyone has been able to get onto the new site and their needs are being met. We are not seeing much traffic to the old site, so I am hoping most people are happy with the ongoing developments.

Regards,
Matthew
