I don't use Fox/Hound, of course, but it seems to me that VK5GR's request when using it is legitimate.  I wouldn't have said anything at all if it weren't for the dev reply that cited a lack of screen real estate as the reason for not addressing it.

It's not bitching to point out the obvious.

Ya know if you so much want this why not open your computer and reprogram the interface yourself? What's it take 30 seconds to open settings or change a config? Is the DX going to disappear in that time? I guess everyone forgot about when the NA contest mode had a check box on the GUI. So many wondered why they were in contest mode because they mistakingly checked the box. Most like the dev group has a lot more to do then move a check box. I'd bet they have life's outside of ham radio as well. I think the dev group does a helluva job. Just one last thing, how can anybody bitch about free software

    If anyone was seriously concerned about real estate usage in the

    user window there wouldn't be all that wasted space in the lower left
    corner for any of the modes.  The Frequency display doesn't need
    to be
    anywhere near that large, DX Call and DX Grid is mostly
    superfluous, the
    size of the Date/Time box is ridiculous ...   and all of that
    could be
    resized and repositioned under the Auto Seq and Call 1st buttons.

    All of which has been brought up before.
