Hi Dirk & all, Just a bit of feedback on the webUI: 1. Looks way better! 2. Rows may be easier to read if you have alternating row colors. 3. My vision is not what it used to be and the font size is a bit hard to read. I tried font-size: 18px in the browser console and it was very legible.
Thanks as always for the great software and all of your efforts! Glad I could finally contribute in some way.
