With the past few WSJT-X release candidates there have been a number of
concerns expressed about the use of colored letters over various colored
backgrounds to indicate decoded stations that use LOTW. In addition to the
visibility issues, the user now has to remember the meanings of the various
colors.

If it is at all possible, why not get away from colors and KISS. Keep It
Simple ....  use a single letter "L" to indicate an LOTW using station. The
"L" could be placed on the far right side of the line after the country
prefix or name. RXCLUS, a program that I've been using for over a decade to
monitor DXcluster nodes, appends an "L" on the far right side of putouts
for LOTW users. It works great. If you don't want to see it, simply shrink
the right side of the display.

I believe that the use of an "L" versus using various colors is a much more
effective and less confusing way to indicate FT8 stations that use LOTW.
