Hi Andre,
The issue is that the current 'red circle' icon must be altered or removed
to comply with the user interface guidelines on colour use. A circle of any
other colour does not have the same universal association with 'recording'
so in order to make it intuitive we are faced with enlarging the icon or
removing it. If the icon is removed another means of showing the logger
status would be implemented, though it would likely require touchscreen
interaction or the use of an infobox (as suggested by George Sanderson).
Thanks for registering a trac ticket for the logging issue you mentioned. It
is extremely likely that the issue you mention is linked to the PDA locking
after a certain amount of time. I must suggest that if you had a device that
didn't suffer from this issue you would probably feel more comfortable
relying on the automatic logging.
Regards,
Simon
