Locked Green Recieve Frequency Bracket


Tom Ramberg, OH6VDA
 

I'm afraid  I'm not computer savvy enough to do my own build. So while waiting for the dev team to consider this polite request, is there any way to obtain a build with the patch described by Kari OH2GQC?

I have trouble seeing it.
There is no configuration item to change that indicator color.

If you are able to compile WSJT-X from sources, then you can use this patch...

Perhaps the Developers might want to make this change in next version if we asked them nicely. BR, Kari, oh2gqc

personally I'd like better control over ALL the colors, I.E. the foreground and background of the program windows, program text, along with the message windows.

Hi Dave,
I as well as others that have an issue with red/green color blindness (properly " color deficiency" ) have the same problem. Quire some time ago Joe K1JT said it would be done in an update. I sent emails to him several times and no response. I was quite surprised I know he is oine busy man. Hopefully that change can be made.

I support the question. For the approximately 10% of males that have a green/red colour deficiency, this is a problem.
