VRM app phone widget - feedback - colours too similar

Great webinar today @Guy Stewart (Victron Community Manager) - many thanks.

I finally got all of the widgets working after deleting and reinstalling VRM. Some feedback:

1) I don't know whether you have any control over the colours of the large VRM widget but the choice of colours makes the graph almost unusable.

2) Can the ESS widget be made smaller? Also, the low SoC would be more helpful if it showed the Active SoC Limit rather than the Minimum SoC.

Thanks for the feedback, indeed something is not right with those colours. My phone is much more distinguishable.

I've reported to the dev team to have a look.


We are looking at smaller size designs, but nothing for now (except the other smaller options that already exist). Feel free to sketch up some examples you'd like to see to help with their imagination :)


Also agree that Active SoC would be useful to see and passed on.

Hi @paulcooper

This issue was caused by the Increased contrast setting in iOS.

Only the pre-defined colors get affected by high contrast. So by changing all the colors to ones defined by us (which we have just done), the widget is now unaffected by the setting.


The issue is now resolved, thanks for reporting it :)
