Default New Time and New Graphics

I also thought that the new graphics are very hard to see (at least

the
one I saw this morning). I don't have a huge TV screen and since with


the "3D" effect, Scotland is much smaller, I could not really see

what's
going on with the rain display: the colour choice is also strange
"greyish" rain on a "brownish" background. Almost impossible to see
where the rain was forecasted. Also, where are the isobars, the

high/low
pressure positions, the wind directions??? It looks like we have less


information than before...

I doubt whether the new weather graphics comply with disability
legislation. On my 13 year old TV the graphics are hard to see.

Here is a link to some legislation:

e.g. look at sections 19,20,21.

There is also a 2005 act.
