This is likely not an issue for most. I have a remote site running
WSJT-X that a few of us share. We would like to know how to configure
it so that each of us can benefit from the color highlighting feature.
Right now, it only works for me (AA7A) since the user account is in my
callsign. The other remote operators log into the site as me and we
use different Configurations in WSJT-X for each of the operators (sets
the right call, etc..). The color codes are right for AA7A but the
only color highlighting that occurs for any other operator on is a
green highlight on any CQ whether worked before by any one of the
multiple operators or not.
I know we could/should set up separate user accounts on the remote PC
and have separate installations for each user, but that complicates
other things related to the remote site (it is primarily a contest
site). The WSJT-X ADIF file has the right operator's call in each log
record. But, apparently that is not used in any manner in setting colors.
Any suggestions?

HI Ned,
by using configurations you are sharing a log file, that is wrong unless
you are all using the same callsign. For use with separate callsigns you
should start WSJT-X with a command line argument '-r <unique-name>'
where <unique-name> could be the callsign of the operation. You can
leave one to start with no -'r' option which will continue to use the
current settings an logfiles, all other instances will have their own
settings and logfiles which are completely isolated. There's no need to
use separate o/s user ids although that would have a similar effect
without having to use the -r' command line options. Using the '-r'
command line option also allows you to run multiple instances
concurrently if you have multiple radios, audio interfaces and CAT
interfaces.
The reason the other operators are not seeing decode highlighting is
probably because their configurations probably do not have the
"Settings->General->Show DXCC, grid, and worked before status" option
checked, but changing that alone is not the right solution because of
the points above.
You don't say what operating system you are using so I will assume MS
Windows. You can copy the desktop icon for WSJT-X, change its title,
then in its properties change the "Target:" entry to add the '-r' option
for that operator. Then starting with that Icon will be correct for that
user. The settings for each user will have to be set up from scratch.
