Hi guys,
It wouldn't be hard to add an option to change the color of the VFO A
cursor. But I want to make sure I understand the problem.
By the way, I also have typical male red-green color blindness but I
have no trouble distinguishing the VFO A and VFO B cursors. There are
several types of red-green color blindness, so perhaps that's the
difference.
The VFO A cursor is green, the spectrum trace is yellow and the
background color is dark blue. If the yellow trace and green cursor are
too similar I would think the problem is not being able to see the trace
in the cursor area, rather than not being able to see the cursor
(against the dark-blue background). So I'm confused about that one.
Anyway, is the solution to make the VFO A cursor bright white? I think
it would look nicer to make it gray, but then it might look too similar
to the yellow trace for those who are totally color-blind.

I have a similar, but different, problem. I see more colors than Fred,
but I am red/green colorblind and my problem is telling the difference
between the VFO A and VFO B cursors. So Fred's solution would work for
me too.

ALAN: Thank you for the monochrome WF option.
I don't want to get too greedy, and I may be the only Elecraft customer
with this problem, but during a contest [like RTTY RU on now], my wife
tells me the VFO A cursor is green. The spectrum in which it is
embedded is yellow. They look similar to me, not exactly, but the
cursor doesn't stand out. I generally go for signals in the WF using
the cursor, which works just fine unless the band is totally full of
signals. Then, I can't find the cursor in the spectrum display.
If there's any chance for an option for a bright white VFO A cursor on
the To-Do list, I'd appreciate it. If not, I'll adapt.
