: Custom zone background shading not rendering on timeline custom chart (custom stream)

I’m trying to show ventilation (VE) from a Tymewear sensor on the activity timeline with zone background shading, the same way power/HR panels can be shaded.

Setup (premium subscriber):

  • Stream: tidal_volume_min (shown as “VE (v/min)”), imported from the Garmin FIT (Tymewear dev field). The line plots fine.
  • Created a Custom Zones set on this stream, 5 zones, absolute values: 0–46 / 46–63 / 63–95 / 95–150 / 150–250 (start inclusive, end exclusive).
  • Added a custom chart on the activity timeline: a Line plot for tidal_volume_min, plus a Zone plot referencing the 5 zones (VE-1…VE-5), opacity 0.3, Scale/Axis set to tidal_volume_min (same axis as the line).

Problem: the VE line renders correctly, but the zone bands never appear as background shading on the timeline. I’ve tried the Line (“As is”) and Bars plot types, matched the Scale/Axis of the line and the zone plot, saved, and refreshed. Time-in-zone for these custom zones works fine elsewhere — only the chart background shading is missing.

Question: how do I get zone background shading to render for a custom stream on the timeline custom chart? Is this supported for custom streams, or is it a bug?

I don’t know how - some magic :slight_smile: , but now I can see zones.
