There is a new version of suntime now available and can be found as usual Here

Its retains the menu icon as the previous version, but now when the icon is selected, you get a configuration menu, which makes it much easier to configure to your requirements. Many thanks to the author!

Hi,

In the GMT offset box enter +1

It seems to work OK but bear in mind this is never going to be perfect as sunrise can vary across the UK by up to 25 - 30 minutes. And, is therefore dependent upon where you are when you want the unit to switch over. So, a bit of trial and error might be necessary.

The numer can also be entered as a decimal e.g.one and a half hours = 1.5

I think the answer to this question is so technical that it is beyond my comprehension or else it is lost in the translation.

"Color change parameter allows you to choose between a color change right at sunrise/sunset time (unchecked box) or at dawn/twilight time (checked box). " Quote from from the web bazar website.

I am not sure that I know the difference between sunrise / dawn and sunset / twilight. But someone out there will and will tell us.......

What I do know is I have the box ticked and it works.

Twilight comes in several flavours, Civil; Nautical and Astronomical are examples, but the most common one is civil twilight.
Evening twilight occurs some time after Sunset, and morning twilight occurs some time before Sunrise. So the period of darkness is shorter between evening and morning twilight, and longer betweem sunset and sunrise.
Therefore its up to you when you want day-time/night- time map change to occur. You really need to try it and see what you prefer.
I have selected twilight as my option.

Perhaps more concisely:
It's still pretty light out for awhile before sunrise and after sunset.

If you do not tick the "Twilight" option, the mode will change even though it's not yet actually light or dark in the sky.

I also use twilight - no sense switching to night mode if it's still light out Smile
