The area to the left of the sweeping pointer is filled with a user defined colors. Three colors can be assigned to a maximum of 5 segments of the range.

Select the main or lowest color layer by clicking on the color swatch. This opens the color palette. Select the desired color and the palette will close. This color can be displayed at the beginning and end of the gauges range.

Define the middle range and select a color (using the same method described above). In terms of color layers, the middle range lies between the item color (back) and the “Inner Range” color (top). In the example below this range is represented in orange.

Define the inner range and select a color. In terms of color layers, the inner range color is the top. In the example below this range is represented in green.

In the example above, two ranges are entered. The third range (full sweep of the gauge) comes from the field's min and max setting. The widget setting's allow three colors to be associated with the three ranges. The results is three to five segments of the dial to displaying one of three colors as it completes a full sweep.
