No one noticed Eric!
You are right, it is a 6 pointer summit.
May be a mail to MT will help.

Apologies for the late post, but I have one activator/chaser unable to login, I believe he was due for a password change, but either forgot or didn’t get the memo. Where can I send him to take care of this?

Because <:goat:> means something special to the reflector software, when it sees <:goat:> it draws a small icon and that is not supported by something showing a précis of the topics on the reflector. Should SOTAwatch show such icons? IMHO there are many more important things to do before implementing that.

I don’t care if the goat symbol is displayed on SOTAwatch, I just wanted to let @VK3ARR know … now he can decide if there is reason enough (or if it is possible at all) to change something.

I bit the bullet and eliminated the colour range on points, and reduced the number of colours for modes. They are now colour grouped by voice, CW or data modes.

Fixes are also included to show spot aging (for Brian G8ADD), and the change for the tooltip hover issue is also included.

Great! Thanks mate.

That’s much calmer Andrew. Suits my ancient eyes. :grinning: Many thanks.

Thanks, looks good, many relaxing shades of blue!

I’m using the dark monochrome theme on my phone, and when I log a chase, the text in the data fields are very hard to read, with the exception of the “summit” field:

Is it possible to change the colours of all the fields here so that they are all like the “summit” field?

Thank you so much

Building now - untested but it should be fine. About to jump on a plane so if I’ve borked it, it’ll be 12 hours or so to fix, so use a light mode in the meantime

That’s much better, thank you so much! Hope you had a good flight

Is it just me who gets mixed languages in SOTAWatch?

I am logged in, I have the language set to UK and the menu comes up in German!

My PC has the German version of Windows 11 with the UK language pack loaded, so everything in the system comes up in English - but not the menu or SOME of the headings in SOTAWatch!

I changed the language of Sotawatch to German. I got the German flag in the corner but everything else stayed in English.

Neither you Richard or Ed have set your local on the SSO account webpage and I don’t know what happens in that case. Perhaps you could try setting the locale you want and then seeing if it works.

I set the locale to English and that made no difference. But it would have been odd if setting that to English made German work in Sotawatch.
