Changing opacity

By default the weather layers are set to 50% opacity. This ensures a the weather display is visible while still having any ENC information being shown underneath. If for whatever reason the ENC or Weather information needs to be more prominent, this can be controlled by the "Display opacity" value in the settings tab
