Change the color of ADS-B targets?

Is there a way to change the color of ADS-B targets? Mine are cyan, which does not show up well on a sectional.

Thanks.

The colors change for cyan to yellow to red to make them easier to see.

That said, I put my maps in VECTOR mode when looking for targets which greatly unclutters the screen so I can easily see targets. I only use the VFR mode when I want to check airspace restrictions.

I know that there's a way to change the size, shape and color of your ownship icon. (I've done it to mine. Takes some hacking on Android with root privileges.) I do not know if there's a similar way to change the color of the Traffic icons. (Which might be vector generated.) Brian can tell us.

Currently, there's no way to change the color of an ADS-B target, as they're determined by the distance from your ownship. I'll make a note to look into allowing that cyan color to be configurable in a furture update though. Thanks.

Thanks for considering that option...I will stick with it as it works for me. I find the color to be distinctive, but everyone sees things just a bit differently so thanks for listenting to the pilot-users - one of the things I really like about the staff at IFly.

My issue is GLARE on the screen - experimenting with various different screen covers now to see what might work best.
