Dial In Your iDash Display Colors for Better Readability

You can change nearly every on-screen color, but contrast between the background and text is what keeps your gauges readable at a glance.

- Adjust background, label bar, text, divider, bar graph, and button colors.
- Custom color settings let you tailor the display to your preference.
- High contrast between background and text keeps gauges easy to read.
- Color changes are handled directly in the iDash layout theme menu.

The Banks iDash Pro gives you control over the look of the display, not just the data on it. In the layout theme color settings, you can change the background, label bar, text, divider, bar graph, and button colors to whatever works for you. The key is keeping enough contrast between the background and text so your gauges stay readable. That lets you personalize the screen without giving up quick, clear visibility when you need information fast.

1. Opening the Display Menu

The video explains how to customize the color scheme on a Banks iDash display. To begin, open the main menu by pressing the right arrow on the device.

From the menu, scroll to Settings. Inside that menu, go to Layout, then select Theme Colors. This opens the color customization controls for the display.
