I kind of like the color coding.
It would be nice to be able to reverse the font on highlighted lines from black to white, based on background choice, as it would make it easier on my old eyes for darker color choices. 73, Ted K9IMM From: Don AA5AU [mailto:aa...@bellsouth.net] Sent: Wednesday, September 26, 2018 8:46 AM To: WSJT software development Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Decode Background Colors - Suggestions I agree with George as I've been thinking this all along since 2.0.0 rc1 came out. I don't pay much attention to the colors in WSJT-X other than the dark purple for new DXCC. The old system of colors worked fine for me. I rely on JTAlert to alert me to my needs because I run two radios and multiple instances of WSJT-X. When running two radios and multiple instances of WSJT-X, wsjt_log.adi is not always updated for all instances since they are not sync'd automatically. So the color codes are not always correct. To update all the instances of wsjt_log.adi, occasionally I filter my DXKeeper log to show all FT8 contacts, then export that and name it wsjt_log.adi. I then replace the existing wsjt_log.adi files for all instances of WSJT-X. That works great but I don't do it that often. To update JTAlert, I just do a "Scan Log & Rebuild" before each operating session and JTAlert is up-to-date. Don AA5AU _____ From: George J.

If we keep it simple, with just CQs and your QSO partner, it should be a better user experience and sturdier program. Helper apps like JT-Alert do the external heavy lifting for those that want it, so there’s no need to duplicate the functionality. Think that some of the well-intentioned added functionality is going to come back and bite us.
