I was thinking of this, yes, but also a way to allow users to select
highlight colors for the decoded text windows (and maybe other things
too?). Several people have wanted to change the colors used for "needed
DXCC" or "worked before" on non-Windows platforms.

OK, that's good information. We can always ask for volunteer testers
for particularly troublesome rigs, if that's desirable.

Yes, and it may be needed for EME at 10 GHz and above where the Doppler
spread can be well over 100 Hz. (Obviously, this is a tiny niche
market, for WSJT-X -- but I'm interested in making it work.
The JT9W stuff is completely experimental, at present. We may wish to
make it invisible to users, until at least some minimal tests have been
made.
