I have JTAlert set up to send spots to SpotCollector. ?I have SpotCollector set up to send me email alerts when a needed call is spotted. ?

?

I use the DXCommander waterfall. ?Since JTAlert alerts me of needed calls both in a JTAlert window and via email I don't need the spots to appear on the waterfall. ?I really want to see just the FT* spots not originated by me. ?Maybe there is a DX station working on a different frequency on the band I'm working or a station is copying a needed call that I am not yet copying. Of course spots for other modes are needed so that I can change modes if needed.

?

?I don't want to turn off the JTAlerts going to SpotCollector because of the email alerts.

+ To eliminate callsigns in the Spectrum-Waterfall window, in the "Spot Filter" sub-panel in the "DX Spots" in the "DX Spots" panel on the Bandspread tab of Commander's Configuration window,

1. click the Edit button to display the "Commander User-defined SpotCollector Filters" window; in this window, choose an unused entry and

1a. set its Caption to None

?

1b. set its SQL to

cont='XX'

2. close the "Commander User-defined SpotCollector Filters" window

3. select the "Spot Filter" sub-panel's new None option

?

Sometimes I would like to show less that 4 lines of spots on the waterfall. ?I often find I'm not getting many needed spots so there is a lot of space that could be saved by shrinking the callsign window.

+ If I were to begin enabling windows to be space-optimized for each user's particular preferences, I'd never be able to develop another substantive enhancement. If you need more screen space, large high-resolution monitors are remarkably inexpensive.

I have two 32” monitors. :-) ?Space is not the issue. ?I think space was a bad choice of words. ?I should have said white space.?I prefer a darker color scheme and have the computer set up in dark mode. I’ve adjusted the spectrum section to use a black background. ?The waterfall’s blue color on a black background is fine, but there is no way to adjust the white color between the?spectrum and the waterfall.?? So basically, I have a large white rectangle in the middle of my screen. Most of the other DXLab programs have a more grey background. ?Anyway, it isn’t the end of the world.??

+ I've sent you a new version of Commander that provides a "Callsign & Freq Sections" subpanel in the Colors panel on the Spectrum-Waterfall Configuration window that when set to "black" displays the "Spectrum-Waterfall" window's "DX? Callsign" and "Frequency Axis" sections with a black background. This enables configuration of a fully-dark "Spectrum-Waterfall" window:



+ Please let me know how it goes..
