How are they configurable? I thought that there was going to be a choice of border colours that would hopefully include black.

How? There is only posibility to choose UV meters, big cover with bad looking background, and small cover with details, tittle, and time?

Configurable, as in choosing between the two, whereas the previous firmware enforced the plain colour border.

I didn't mean to say you could configure the colour scheme or the blur radius.

I don’t like either choice, but would prefer black.

You could raise a ticket but I think WiiM is working on a new set of playback widgets and meters. So maybe just wait for that?

Let us hope they will be good. Until now the UI design decisions have not been the best.

I’m not really that bothered, as I’m currently using the VU meter, as I can’t read the screen text from my listening position.

Unfortunately the current VU meter is just a toy. I am still hoping for something useful, like correct scale and working for input.

... which would make them what? Precision toys?

Something that could be used to e.g. set the input gain

Would you really want to rely on them? I wouldn't.

If they were implemented following the specification standard for real VU meters, the had to be way.too slow to be useful for this particular purpose anyway.
