Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice to have a wider color gamut for the heatmap.

Currently I have to edit the code every time there is a new version, copy my code and paste it in the new version, the compile.

In my code colors are going from White (Freeze) to Blue (Cold) to Green (Fresh) to Yellow (Warm) to Red (Hot), it's a small modification to the whole code but looks really nice.

In the video you can see the functionality of the code proposed (had to be chopped to make it shorter , because can't increase the temp in linear way)

        public static void ApplyHeatmap(bool init = false)
        {
            float cpuTemp = (float)HardwareControl.GetCPUTemp();
            int freeze = 40, cold = 55, fresh = 65, warm = 75, hot = 83;
            Color color;

            if (cpuTemp < cold)
            { 
                color = ColorUtils.GetWeightedAverage(Color.White, Color.Blue, ((float)cpuTemp - freeze) / (cold - freeze));
            }
            else if (cpuTemp < fresh) 
            {
                color = ColorUtils.GetWeightedAverage(Color.Blue, Color.Green, ((float)cpuTemp - cold) / (fresh - cold));
            }
            else if (cpuTemp < warm)
            {
                color = ColorUtils.GetWeightedAverage(Color.Green, Color.Yellow, ((float)cpuTemp - fresh) / (warm - fresh));
            }
            else if (cpuTemp < hot)
            {
                color = ColorUtils.GetWeightedAverage(Color.Yellow, Color.Red, ((float)cpuTemp - warm) / (hot - warm));
            }
            else color = Color.Red;

            ApplyDirect(color, init);
        }

@FelipeAlma hello,

Actually in 0.203 I have made temperature values configurable #3602

Of course I can add one more "step" like you did i.e. "fresh" ? why btw fresh btw? :) or may be you can achieve similar result by just shifting colors via config already ?

[FelipeAlma]

It's for fresh like in "The fresh prince" not cold nor warm.... cool.. In my PC when idling or doing nothing special it goes down to white then mix with blue then teal then green, looks really nice, please give it a try, I think you will like it...

Not sure where to config the colors and temps you say by the way

found it, TX, : "Power user" settings require editing config located at %AppData%\GHelper\config.json.
