Yes also my eyes and several friends do not see difference in some colors


Here is how I typically operate:  I work from home so I have wsjt-x running, 
with the main window on my second (smaller) screen.  For me, the colors for 
“worked country before” and “worked station before” are difficult to discern at 
a glance (unless one of each happen to be near each other in the decoded text 
panel).  What I do right now is change the color code in displaytext.cpp for 
“worked station before” to a lavender color, which works great - as long as I 
don’t need/want to rebuild from fresh source.

I understand this would be a very low priority change, but if I don’t ask…

No, i have seen several messages on this problem

Yes, displaytext.cpp is the eyes tester
I start to download JTSKD and refresh my brain only for this problem
Under Linux I not found as run nice hamapps.com programs
Under Windows the band activity windows is more immediate
Press F2:  there is space to add a tab "colors"
This cause few new entries in WSJT-X.ini referring to lines
Line89          bg = "#66ff66"; // strong green
Line95               bg = "#76cd76"; // mid green
Line100                bg="#9cc79c"; // pale green
default colors button = defaults colors
If "ini" not contain colors use defaults (so compatibility with other 
version is maintained)
In wide graph there is a color select function with a lot of possibilities

Try this test
copy the following lines to a file with html extension and see in your 
preferred browser

<html><head></head><body><table>
<tr><td  bgcolor="#76cd76">displaytext.cpp line 95 bg = "#76cd76"; // mid 
green</td></tr>
<tr><td>this is a colorblind test</td></tr>
<tr><td>imagine many lines that run<tr><td>
<tr><td>see well the "bg" difference in all light conditions?<tr><td>
<tr><td  bgcolor="#9cc79c">displaytext.cpp line 100 bg = "#9cc79c"; // pale 
green</td></tr>
<tr><td  bgcolor="#cccccc">maybe gray is better</td></tr>
<tr><td  bgcolor="#DEB887">or a more different color</td></tr>
</table></body></html>

All the other is fantastic

ready for svn co svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/jtsdk/code/ jtsdk-code
