This app is to help users of PYKL3Radar switch color tables on the fly without having to exit the app and rename and move files.

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ:

I didn't add any in-app help or information because I made this for myself and am just putting it here for the handful of people that might use it as well. Plus, PYKL3 will probably eventually have the ability to do this natively and this app won't be needed.

HOW TO USE:

This doesn't do everything for you, it just switches your custom pal file with the PYKL3 z.pal reflectivity file. You need to download or edit your pal files, name them something descriptive, and put them on the sdcard in a directory named "PYKLpal." This just reads the contents of that directory and while using PYKL3 shows you a menu that allows you to pick which one to use.

What it does:

Once you tap the PYKLpal app icon, it opens PYKL3 and overlays a little red button on the bottom left of the radar with the word "ppal" on it. If you tap it, it will read the contents of the "PYKLpal" directory from the sdcard and bring up a list of pal files in that directory. If you click one, it will replace the z.pal file in the PYKL3 directory with the one you picked. Once the radar updates, or you manually update it, the new pal file is used.

If you long press on the "ppal" button, it will close and go away but PYKL3 will keep running like normal.

It doesn't work with any other pal file except reflectivity. I *might* add others, but I probably won't. I *might* add in-app help, but I probably won't. I *might* win the lottery, but I probably won't. But if I do, I'll pay someone to do all these things for me.
