Engine temp view that you use?

All, I am carefull to watch for when the car is fully at normal operating temps before ever demanding much from the car. I find that I have to be in "Classic View" on the dash in order to see that the car is up to normal operation temp.. it is at the half way point on the gauge in view... However when I change to the other dash view like progressive I can choose to see engine performance info in the side display which does show oil and trans temps, on a scale and by temp, but it is not intuitive for me to tell when it is at THE operating temp. It is not at a half way point nor is it indicative of what normal is in relation. I hate to only enjoy the classic view so please tell me what view you like and how you use it to know you don't press the car before it is warmed up fully? Thanks all!

I use the progressive view, but keep the right hand side of the display set to watch tire pressure/temp which also includes engine oil and driveline temps.

They turn from blue to white when ready to rock and roll.
