UPDATE: Flow gets a colorwheel, & Otto can now change sim settings, LIVE!

Hello!

Xbox users, thanks for the overwhelming welcome onto your consoles! We notice some unique ways you use Flow, mainly the desire to keep the Position Widget open at all times.

We acknowledge that performance may decrease over time depending on the mods you have installed/used by keeping it open & are working on an update. Stay tuned; we want your 5-star ratings!

The feedback received has highlighted areas for improvement, including the issue of color selection. Hex codes, commonly familiar to PC users, may not be as intuitive for console users. Although the decision was straightforward, the implementation posed significant challenges. However, a color wheel ultimately proved to be the solution. How about that, a wheel saving the day once more!
