If the blanking plate is used instead of the sidebar, then colour of the plate can now be changed by editing variable [FG_GLOBAL_BLANKING_COLOUR] in SPAD.neXt data monitor.

Version & Info:

Turn left dial clockwise to turn on and counter clockwise to turn off current version number and other useful links.

 

Side Buttons:

Turn left dial clockwise to turn on and counter clockwise to turn off side buttons.

 

 

 

 

 

Glass Reflection:

Turn left dial clockwise to turn on and counter clockwise to turn off optional glass reflections. This is a global setting so all gauges that have this function will turn on and off.

 

Background Colour:

Left dial will change colour styles to the following

    0 = Grey

    1 = Black Dial Face

    2 = Darker Gauge & Dial Face

    3 = Black & No Gauge GFX

    4 = Grey - Original Design

    5 = Black Dial Face - Original Design
