How can I change the color of a gauge on the fly? I'm using the LCD skin and I'd like to change the gauge color to yellow or red to flag different conditions. I tried changing various color settings (like foregroundBaseColor and valueColor) but they don't seem to update, the default color doesn't change.

[HanSolo]

Could you please provide a code snippet that shows the described behavior? That would make things much easier to reproduce for me.

[ChasDouglass]

That helped me work through it (as explaining a problem to someone else so often does).
I was trying to change the background color and value color, I've discovered what I really needed to do was change the LcdDesign colors. That works!

I want to try out and use the medusa library in Android Studio in Java. Just in a new project from scratch. I am completely newbie in Android.
I even cannot get the library into my project. I tried:
settings.gradle:
repositories { gradlePluginPortal() google() mavenCentral() maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' } }

build.gradle (app);
dependencies { implementation "eu.hansolo.medusa:medusa:17.1.5" }
which I created based on how similar calls look like. I never saw the real one...

The following error is produced:
` > Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:debugRuntimeClasspath'.

Could not resolve eu.hansolo.medusa:medusa:17.1.5.
Required by:
project :app
> Could not resolve eu.hansolo.medusa:medusa:17.1.5.

> Could not GET 'https://jitpack.io/eu/hansolo/medusa/medusa/17.1.5/medusa-17.1.5.pom'.
> Read timed out`

Which repository and implementation do I have to use?

P.S.: As this is my first question here: I have no idea why the original code formatting is discarded (newlines removed).
And - I will have more questions later, hope I'm welcome to issue them....

Well the reason why it doesn‘t work is pretty simple…it‘s a JavaFX library and Android does not support JavaFX. So you cannot use it on Android.

What a pity! Thanks!
Any suggestions as alternative?

You could look into the GluonFX Plugin to get JavaFX to work on Android. It uses GraalVM.

Is there documentation for this library?

[HanSolo]

Nope, but you can learn from the demo project https://github.com/HanSolo/medusademo
