Usage chart unclear on windows 11

Best answer by Nukecad

That blue background (and blue usage bars) in your screenshot is certainly unusual.
What colours did you see for them in Win10?

Noting that this is a new install of Windows 11 have you been experimenting (playing) with the settings, in particular the Personalisation settinge for Colors or themes?
Or possibly the Accessibility settings?

 

Although if you had then I’d expect it to show up in more than just the OVO portal.

Are you seeing any colour issues anywhere else?

We may need more information, such as is this a Laptop or a desktop setup?

Howdy ​@BrenJ !

I’m happy to get this flagged up to the right teams for you, but I could do with more info first. If you can, please can you provide:

  • Your browser (and version if possible!)
  • Your OS/OS version
  • Screenshots of the issue

Thanks!

That looks like your browser theme/color settings  (or possibly the theme/color settings in Windows itself).

If you look carefully you can see that there are bars for the usage on the chart from the 1st to the 7th Jun, but they are the same colour as the background and so only show up where they cross a line.

Try changing your browser theme, or putting it back to standard/system setting.

If you can tell us what browser you are using and what theme it is set to then that would be of interest.

Hey ​@BrenJ 

 

I’m glad to see a couple of our volunteers have already stopped by with some helpful advice on this.

 

As Nukecad has mentioned, it looks like the display/theme has changed and so the bars on the charts are blending right into the back.

 

Let us know how you get on changing them and if that solves the problem.

Thanks I’m using google chrome, still trying to get the chart back to as it used to be, it was a lot clearer at a glance then.

Hmm… I can’t reproduce this one…

Are you using any Chrome Extensions? If so, please list the ones you see at chrome://extensions

You’ll need to copy/paste or type that manually though - security features mean you can’t click on it directly from here.

No. I'm still where I started. I wish it was back to the original layout, which was clear to see each utility at a glance.

I can’t reproduce this anyway - what programs/browser extensions do you have installed?

I have a number of extensions on chrome. I tried Edge which which is clear but it is just the same.

I see.

That suggests it’s either an installed program, OR a setting on your computer. Please list the installed programs, it might be one of those that’s the culprit.

I've given up. I'll just use my smartphone from now on. Where it is clear.

Hey ​@BrenJ,

 

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve given up on it. If you change your mind Microsoft can help you with the settings to make things clearer by speaking to them at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/home/contact?SourceApp=smc2&ContactUsExperienceEntryPointAssetId=Google.

 

It’s good that you can still access them through your phone 🙂
