Question Map Color Question

After a long hiatus due to school, I'm just starting to get into ECUFlash again. Yesterday I upgraded and tried opening my current ROM. First thing I noticed was that all of the colors were different. I tried just changing the colormap but that didn't fix the problem. Seems like it's an issue of scale as the change in shade isn't all that discernable between higher/lower values. I've done some searching and I know it seems like my issue is stemming from the number range in the gradient. My question is how do I change that. Is it something that I edit in the XML file? I'm sure it's something simple but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks

If one of the color maps doesn't fit, you can change the min/max values for each defined table. The min/max values don't specify input; rather they change the range for the color gradient.

And where might you look to go about this?

Someone at ECUflash should take care of that for the next version.

Quick question, anyone know what's the name of this color scheme or how to get it in the later version of ecuflash (1.35 or newer)
This is the default color scheme that 1.29a uses and I can't find it anywhere in the newer ecuflash's. I tried adjusting the min/max like Appauldd suggested but no luck.
It's not a big deal, I just like that color scheme.

My suggestion was for the Rainbow color map.

I dont know what color scheme that is, but I dont think that is the default color scheme for ECUflash 1.29a. Least when I had 1.29 installed that wasnt the default color scheme. AFAIK the default color is/always has been the rainbow scheme.

You can copy the file for that color scheme from your old install to the new one and switch via the standard options.

Still they should fix it on the next release of ECUflash. It only happens on a couple ROMs, mainly 96940011 and 96530006.

You could be right, I don't even remember what it was...
Thanks fostytou, I'll try that and see if it works out.
