![]() As a callsign is entered the buttons are colored displaying the mult-status. To the left of the Call-sign textbox, there is one column of band buttons in the Band Panel for each permitted mode in the current contest.A “?” appears if no match is found, unless you opt to turn that option off in the View Menu of the Entry window. The check is colored to match the call-sign color and reflect multiplier status – by default, the colors are green for double, red for single, blue for no multiplier but a workable station for QSO credit. If the Check window is open and an exact match to the entered call-sign is found, a check will appear in the right end of the call-sign text box. When checked, this causes sent CW characters to be echoed in the status line at the bottom of the Entry window. The 9th menu item is “ Display Sent CW in SO1R and SO2V“. This causes a GMT (UTC) clock to be displayed in the upper right corner of the Entry window. Note that if you select a single band contest on either HF or VHF, the Band Panel will continue to display the full list until you check the bands you want to have displayed. If you click on the 7th option, “ Change Band Panel Display”, this dialog will appear.Ĭlick the Default button to display the traditional contest bands (HF or V/UHF depending on contest), or all HF bands except 60M when using the DX general logging “contest.” Check individual bands to display only those bands. In a multi-op station, it may be helpful to turn off the left-click band change to prevent accidentally changing bands. The 6th option, “ Band Button Left Click Enabled“, is on by default, but may be turned off. “ Show User Information”, if selected, will display Call History User Text. Uncheck them to remove things in the window that you do not need. The first 5 choices affect the size of the entry window. In addition, this right-click menu is provided. It’s much more visible without being obstructive. It allows you to change the thickness of the cursor. Once you have acclimated to the new version, then it would be a good time to point out whatever inconsistencies there may be in the focus behavior.įinally, in working on this improvement, I ran across this feature of Windows: I would ask that you not complain about the focus movement behavior for a week or two because it has not changed with the “colorization”. With the EW textboxes flashing white/color, this focus behavior is made much more obvious. We spent a lot of time trying to get focus back to the Entry Windows in a sensible way when you use the other windows in N1MM+. If you are working in another application, then you will need to use your mouse to bring focus back to N1MM+. If neither Entry window has focus, then all the textboxes in both will show with a colored background. The white textbox will always tell you where the next character you type will go. What is different in the new scheme is that only the textbox with focus, in the window with focus, will have a white background. The default color scheme is pretty reasonable in this regard. It is important that your mult and dupe foreground colors are easily visible on the background that you choose. It’s probably possible to change this with the OS, but I doubt many will do it, thus the change.īeginning with version, the Skins, Colors and Fonts Window will allow you to choose the old method of indicating focus, and two choices for background highlightingĬorresponding to the two colors you have chosen for the Log window grid. Problem is, some windows don’t have titles. In Win 10, if the title bar is grayed, then the window is inactive. What inspired this change is that Win 10 is particularly bad at visual cues to show you which window is active. ![]() Versions and after include a change to how Entry Window textboxes are highlighted to show you which has the entry focus. Which Entry window textbox has the entry focus? Note that while the colors and font sizes displayed here and in other screenshots mimic the original N1MM Logger Classic, Logger Plus provides for extensive customization of colors and fonts in every window, part of an effort to improve accessibility.
