Uniden SDS100 & SDS200 Color Schemes

[alphaacres]

If you do not want to see something on the display just make it black text its not gone but it does not show on the display.
I make Info Area 1 the same color as Favorates List Name
I make Info Area 2 the same color as System Name and Soft1 Key
I make Info Area 3 The same color as Department Name and Soft2 Key
I make Channel Name the Same color as Soft3 Key

This keeps things very organized and easy to read on the display.

I may tweak some more but I'm pretty happy with this color scheme right now:

Detailed Trunk:




Detailed Conventional:



These colors are close but not 100% accurate. It's hard to get the white balance on my camera to match what I see with my eyes. It's even harder to shoot movies of the SDS200 because the camera wants to record a nasty moire pattern over the display text. I have to shoot video in 4K to get around that, but that did work. Would have been easier to shoot with my phone probably.

Probably to many colors but I like it anyway.
Did a lot of playing around and experimenting.

Very busy screen, I’d get a headache looking at that. Creative though.

mancow has my vote. Simple, a few highlights here and there and not overwhelming. And I like the selection of colors...especially if mounted next to a few APX mobiles and in line with a vehicle’s interior display. The others are just too much.

blue is my favorite color so i really like your setup. i may make different profiles in sentinel and go back and forth when i get bored. i may use some of yours and call it "old blue".

I might blank out the "Info Area" stuff eventually as I don't use the keys.

One of the better ones I have seen Dave....now get rid of that white...

Interesting, sort of reminds me of the quilt my ex-wife's Grandmother made us as a wedding gift.

Well now, that has a certain je ne sais quoi about it.

This is what I settled on. A less cluttered look. Spaces between the Sys-Dept-Ch-UID lines. All of my system names are simple service names. The unit ID name is made up of two parts joined together (1-16 and 17-30).

You can't delete an entry you've already posted, only Moderator/Admins can do that. You can edit your entry (for about 30 minutes after you post it), but that's it.

like your color scheme. my only suggestion is to make the buttons match the 3 system, dept and channel above. maybe just use black background for them. like your p25 and FM buttons, they look cool. i may borrow that.

I tried your suggestion - colour text / black background and then black text / colour background. Either way had too much colour, imo, that distracted from the main colour text. I ended up going further the other way. I now have gray buttons with black text! - so that they stand out less. I may go back to white buttons. I'll see. The gray looks kinda violet.

For the bottom keys, I've switched to white bg with black text. Makes the colour text stand out more and reduces colour overload.

 

[cxgy2]

I made two more refinements. System colour "OrangeRed" changed to "DarkOrange". Dept colour "Gold" changed to "Yellow". This makes all the colour text lines' brightness's match better. The yellow really stands out to highlight the user (department).
