    Gauge Display Skins

    I know, it doesn't add much functionality, but it seems that since the gauge display is for most purposes just a reference to look nice that we should have some skins for them. Some nice-looking readable gauges would be a fun upgrade.

    Re: Gauge Display Skins

    To add to this I'd like to see a full screen gauge display option.

    Thanks for the feedback, I was afraid I'd get flamed on this one. A skinable gauge display (or at least not blue only) would take away one of EFI's advantaged over HPTuners...asthetics.

    Re: Gauge Display Skins

    What would be of great benefit to me would be having a clearly visible "peak display" instead of the very thin pale grey line that is on the dash display at the moment. Please let us be able to configure at least that to be something that stands out?

    Re: Gauge Display Skins

    would have to agree with brh26 , when i log i like to be able to glance across to look at the gauge display to check for kr or to check whatever is relevant to what it is that i am doing at the time . It would be good to be able to make some things stand out a little more when needed. The skins idea also has some interesting possibilities as well

    Re: Gauge Display Skins

    We need an upgraded gauge display at the minimum.
    The mentioned changable options would be icing on the cake.
    I have a 17" monitor, it would be soooo nice to have a fit to screen gauge display, very easy on the eyes.

    Here is a cross-post. It seems that Keith was planning to have it updated by now. Anyone know if they're working on this?

    how has this not happened yet. full screen and custom skins. The one looks like crap. It would be great to use HP tuners on my mounted windows tablet and have it actually look good. The full screen at least should take minimal development time. Just seems lazy. People have been talking about this for 11 years?

    Just letting everyone know that posts 1-to-10 are over 10 years old.

    You can get close to "full screen" with the round gauges (on my laptop anyways) by shrinking that Channel List / sliding that vertical slide/scroll bar to the left. That will extend/widen the Gauges Layout.
