Not for long. I first thought the phone could be a refuge from BarneyTech, but no. It autoupgraded.
I setup a basic feature request to get the color scheme fixed - perhaps comment and vote on it if you agree? Light color scheme - even with plum
One of the things I learned over time is that no matter how brilliant/good the program is one writes, if it doesnāt allow for changing the gui colors people will complain.
I donāt like the new light scheme but the dark one is better that the old blue one.
With respect to new brandingā¦ I always associated the old logo with some happy blue sky and some wind blowing.
Color is so terrible, Iām looking at alternatives. With all the work in the dev queue, a color change makes it to the number 1 item to spend time on. Wow, next level stupid.
I can change to the dark mode in my phone (which I prefer), but what about on my PC? There doesnāt seem to be an option to use the dark mode on a PC.
On the web page, so to Settings, and scroll clear to the bottom. The Dark purple is more visible to me than the light GUI, but I dislike purple intently. I think I have a color blindness in my eyes to āshades of purpleā.

I noticed on one of my Windows 10 PCās, the āSettingsā icon is missing from the top right. Thereās only āWeatherā, āHistoryā, and āMapā. If I refresh the page, āSettingsā appears for a split second, but then disappears.
Try typing in just tempestwx.com with nothing else. It should take you to a log in page where you can log in to your account and then the settings tab should appear.
Thanks gizmoev, that did it!
Why change the color to purple? Does it improve range?
Somebody had a really good eggplant parmesan during the recent marketing meetingā¦
Itās time to fire the adolescent who picked purple for the default and ONLY!!! color for the Tempest interface.
Iām glad I didnāt invest in the company when the option was offered to me!
FIX IT!!
Iām guessing that it is to improve the range of the brand
I agree with ding.b.
Dark mode is a 2 thumbs up.
Nowā¦ If the MacOS Widget would stop disappearing, requiring a restart, WeatherFlow life would be perfect.
Thanks WF for the dark mode, fix the bug please!
Makes me wonder if there will be some tie-in with PurpleAir in the future. I have one of their sensors. The lack of an app is disappointing (just a map widget), but if it can be integrated into the Tempest app, that would be awesome!
It would be nice if a few more themes where added. White on blue was nice and easy to read, the purple on purple not so much.
Thatās too bad, the blue was more attractive. I gave great reviews but the color is a dud.
I donāt really care too much about the colour (but I donāt like purple either), but I do care that it now makes the upper menu items VERY hard to see in low light. There doesnāt seem to be a way of making it any brighter?
Nice work Tempest, I had only barely been hanging on to using your weather station and this kind of idiotic decision that isnāt supported by the majority of your customers is just what I needed to push me away. Davis Weather systems are superior in every way. Thanks for giving me the motivation to take the leap.
Donāt let the door hit ya on your wildly unreliable haptic rain sensor.
I fully agree with others who have expressed intense disgust with the nasty purple UI, and especially with the Tempest management attitude of āusers be damned, weāre not giving you any other optionsā. Your attitude would be perfectly appropriate in communist countries.
