Hi,
I am new to this so I am not sure this is the right place to post this
message. If not let me know. I apologize if this has been discussed
previously but I did not see it in the archives.
While waiting for my SDR-1000 to ship (ordered last week) I have been
reviewing the documents on FlexRadio Web site. In looking at the future
enhancements list I see many exciting plans. The new "Beppe Console" is
a great look. However, I am concerned about its form factor. Most
monitors are basically square while the proposed look is a long
rectangle which will have to be squeezed to fit the screen. Or, as in
my case, when running two monitors this shape will often overflow to
the second screen. Since my monitors are different sizes this results
in non-aligned hard to read display.
As an example. I tried the WA6AHL console and it does overlap to the
second screen. It was unclear how to fix this since reducing the size
of the window just cut off control buttons instead of scaling the entire
console.
My suggestion is not to change the proposed new look but to break the
various logically grouped sections into separate dockable windows that
can be individually moved or minimized. This will allow users to
customize the arrangement to best fit their display. This would also
allow new or third party modules to be added as separate windows and
displayed only when needed.
It would also be great if the individual windows would scale smoothly.
Are these things doable?
Looking forward to the new radio.
