Hi Bill,
The patch utility crashes when trying to apply this patch. Do I need to specify some extra command line switches? Maybe you
could create a branch with your changes that I would check out instead?

Hi Alex,
I have added a few enhancements to your proposed patch:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/7slm4oypbc5g8ks/highlight.diff?dl=0
this extends the UDP message to include the foreground colour as well as the background colour. The colours are passed as QColor
format fields which are a little more complicated but are already supported by the Qt QDataStream formats. The main reason for
the field format is that QColor can specify many more colours and also an invalid colour value (spec = 0). The invalid value is
used to reset the background and or foreground colour to defaults. The internal implementation in WSJT-X keeps a dictionary of
highlight commands send and applies the colours to all existing decodes and future decodes, this should explain the need for a
resetting mechanism.
As an example I have enhanced the WSJT-X MessageServer class and the reference message_aggregator application (the C++ Qt one)
provided with WSJT-X to exercise the new UDP message, it does so by displaying a list of "calls of interest" which it relays to
all connected WSJT-X clients. Callsigns may be added to, edited, and deleted (right-click the list for a context menu).
Give it a try and see what you think.
