It's probably because I don't use the default fonts.   I have a high 
resolution display so the pixel size is small and the default fonts in Xastir 
display very very small.  I'm running 'droid sans 17'  and that doesn't fit 
the limited space reserved for those fields.

Oh.. ok!  Station --> Filter display!   That's MUCH better.. thanks so 
much.  I clearly need to dig into the configuration here a bit more.  I 
also discovered the Map --> Configure --> Map Intensity which helps 
brighten up the OSM maps which seemed "too dark / dull" to me.


Things are already looking better!  Being able to switch the sides of 
where the text might be a bit over the top.  Maybe I can hack that into 
the code myself (ideally it would be a configuration item though which 
might be beyond my abilities)

There's a separate control for display of that near the station icon. I'm not near 
a computer, but maybe view -> station and look at the options there?

You can even turn off the call sign next to the icon.

[Xastir] distance / bearing configuration option non-operational?

2016-07-16 Thread David Ranch 


One more question for the group . if I enable or disable the File --> 
Configure --> Dist/Bearing status item, it doesn't change anything on my 
display.  It doesn't for me even after restarting Xastir.  Is this 
normal?  The

"enable english units" option works fine.

Personally for me, the distance is kinda nice but I can care less about 
the bearing.  For example on K6OJ-7, I'm seeing:


   3.8mijogger  121ft
   304 degree   symbol  K6OJ-7
   2 min   295 degree

Would be nice if this could be more configurable and maybe just show the 
following which would lend Xastir's display to being a bit less cluttered:


   jogger  K6OJ-7
symbol 3.8mi
  2 min

or maybe just

   jogger
   symbol
   K6OJ-7
