New spectrum color scheme

[strijar]

I have implemented a new, more pleasing color scheme for the waterfall (like a sunset)

[Brumi-2021]

Thanks 🙏
I will have a look as soon as merged in nightly.
Do you have some advanced picture about it ?

[gullradriel]

Can't we go a bit further and implement a switch to allow the 2 color modes (and eventually more ?)

[strijar]

Yes, it's easy to do

Hi , how about this forgotten nice PR ?
i think it is a nice proposal to change the LUT colour scheme of the waterfall.
Shall we also include it in “next” official merge or
do you prefer to keep both , the current and the new by user config ?
to me , I liked this one more than current , but how about your opinion ?
my vote , is to merge it , but let’s see more feedbacks .

Hi @strijar ,
Sorry about our delay , but why did you close it ?
If you agree , we can reopen that PR and merge it , and it will be integrated to the next nightly and we may get more user feedbacks
Or are you working to make it, user config selection between both , current and your new LUT ?
Thanks !

Hi again , let's merge it , and feel free to check that new Waterfall spectrum colour scheme in the new nightly firmware.
Based on @strijar , the color palette for the waterfall is only 768 bytes, so if wanted in future , we can add both (that one and the previous original one ) He, made this palette for UHSDR firmware.
Thanks a lot , @strijar , I like it very much !
Let's see other user feedback ,
Cheers,

Olá, é possível acrescentar a largura de banda de 100khz, ficaria mais preciso a leitura.

Hello @samukas81 ,
but in that PR, we just changed the colour scheme , nothing about the BW coverage (largura de banda).
Then I feel that this comment is more a kind of "new issue" , than a feedback about that PR.
If you agree , you better open it in a new issue.

Cheers

Olá obrigado por responder, não é um problema seria apenas uma implementação interessante!

I think it's always better to give users a choice rather than make choices for them, especially for subjective things like color palettes. I would like to see this as an optional choice in settings rather than something forced with no option.

[Brumi-2021]

Hi thanks @AlphaGeek1 for your feedback.
Did you already check it in last nightly fw ?

I agree with you that is a subjective feature issue . But the developer launched it , one month ago , and as it is not related to any stability issue, we need to take some quick decision about it. In my personal opinion, i like it more than current one, and I prefer it . I feel that warm white and yellow colours give me a more clear image about too much RX signal , but it is just my opinion .
Anyway, do not worry , if we do not have a general consensus , we can always revert that PR , and wait for having selectable LUT scheme (as long as we do not have memory limitations) .
Feedback is always welcome ,

I agree, this should be an option and not forced

[Brumi-2021]

• Ok @jLynx , then , with your two opinions , is enough Clearly , we have different taste ,and it is too subjective. The important is the community feedback and decision , and give some answer to the developer. (If possible it will be better selectable , as it was pointed by @gullradriel )

@jLynx , you can revert it , no problem at all
(if not I will do it ) .
Cheers ,

Happy to keep it in as is for now. But if we could get another PR to make it as an option, that would be great

[jLynx]

Actually having second thoughts now on weather it's even worth adding a option for it. Maybe it's fine as is. Anyone else have any strong opinions?

[samukas81]

Seria legal poder escolher entre as duas cores, acredito não ser difícil fazer.

I also think it is ok with 1 scheme only. Unless users disagree

[samukas81]

Se não for muito complexo seria interessante ter duas opções, obrigado.

Why not make it so that the theme is an editable file on the SD card? That way, anyone with the time and desire could change it. Include the default sunset scheme and the original scheme (as another file). This way, it's settable (with the effort of changing/editing a file), the users have a choice not just between the two schemes because they could make their own if they choose, and there isn't an additional hit on limited memory.
