Well it's your software, the naming is entirely up to you :)
?
Are you also interested in adopting the Amber theme? This would also require a new waterfall colour scheme.

Hi Jim,
?
I was working on a Win 11 computer and just tried a Win 10 computer just in case this was a Win11 issue. ? If you install WSJT-X to system path for current user or for all users Quisk will not load, in? my case with a softrock type radio.? No issues if you install WSJT-X with default settings which most folks will use.
?
quisk_logfile doesn't show any errors.

Oh, great! May I also suggest to give the color schemes and waterfall colors both human readable names in the drop down box instead of A, B, C etc?

Here's an amber version:
?
?
?
The code is:
?
color_scheme_X = {
? ? 'color_bg' ? ? ? ? ? ?: '#0F0F0F', # Lower screen background
? ? 'color_bg_txt' ? ? ? ?: '#FFBF00', # Lower screen text color
? ? 'color_graph' ? ? ? ? : '#0F0F0F', # Graph background
? ? 'color_config2' ? ? ? : '#FF8000', # Color in tab row of config screen
? ? 'color_gl' ? ? ? ? ? ?: '#2F4F4F', # Lines on the graph
? ? 'color_graphticks' ? ?: '#CCCCCC', # Graph ticks
? ? 'color_graphline' ? ? : '#FFBF00', # Graph data line color
? ? 'color_graphlabels' ? : '#FFBF00', # Graph label color
? ? 'color_btn' ? ? ? ? ? : '#141414', # Button color
? ? 'color_check_btn' ? ? : '#865E2E', # Color of a check button when it is checked
? ? 'color_cycle_btn' ? ? : '#865E2E', # Color of a cycle button when it is checked
? ? 'color_adjust_btn' ? ?: '#865E2E', # Color of an adjustable button when it is checked
? ? 'color_test' ? ? ? ? ?: '#865E2E', # Color of a button used for test (turn off for tx)
? ? 'color_freq' ? ? ? ? ?: '#FF9933', # Background color of frequency and s-meter
? ? 'color_freq_txt' ? ? ?: '#000000', # Text color of frequency display
? ? 'color_entry' ? ? ? ? : '#2E2E2E', # Frequency entry box
? ? 'color_entry_txt' ? ? : '#FFBF00', # Text color of entry box
? ? 'color_enable' ? ? ? ?: '#FFBF00', # Text color for an enabled button
? ? 'color_disable' ? ? ? : '#FF0000', # Text color for a disabled button
? ? 'color_popchoice' ? ? : '#555555', # Text color for button that pops up a row of buttons
? ? 'color_bandwidth' ? ? : '#4B2E0F', # Color for bandwidth display
? ? 'color_txline' ? ? ? ?: '#FFBF00', # Vertical line color for tx in graph
? ? 'color_rxline' ? ? ? ?: '#FF8000', # Vertical line color for rx in graph
? ? 'color_graph_msg_fg' ?: '#FF8000', # Text messages on the graph screen
? ? 'color_graph_msg_bg' ?: '#1E1E1E', # Background of text messages on the graph screen
}
?
?
But it also needs this color scheme for the waterfall:
?
waterfallPaletteX = (
? ? (0, 0, 0, 0),
? ? (32, 25, 20, 0),
? ? (64, 58, 40, 6),
? ? (96, 78, 50, 16),
? ? (128, 120, 85, 29),
? ? (160, 144, 100, 51),
? ? (192, 195, 140, 43),
? ? (224, 198, 150, 35),
? ? (255, 255, 191, 0)
)
?

I just put new color schemes into the Quisk file quisk_conf_defaults.py, and then they can be selected from the Config/radio/Fonts screen. I will try to have the new colors in the next release.

Thanks Stew, I appreciate it. I haven't had trouble with WSJT-X on Windows, but I will try to figure out what is happening. Has anyone else had this trouble?

This really creates retro feelings.?
You now need to create also one in "Bernstein" (amber), which would then be the"need to have" retro design,? hi.

Hi,
?
I've created a color scheme that (I think) is easy on the eyes, works in dark environments and gives some retro computing feelings:
?
?
It looks like the color of the following elements are hard coded and not changeable via the color_scheme_X directives:
?
Would it be possible to add these to the color_schemes?
Furthermore, would it be possible to have one color scheme that is read from quisk_settings.json or another user config file?
?
For those who are interested, this is the scheme used in the above screenshot:
?
color_scheme_C = {
? ? 'color_bg' ? ? ? ? ? ?: '#0F0F0F', # Lower screen background
? ? 'color_bg_txt' ? ? ? ?: '#00CC00', # Lower screen text color
? ? 'color_graph' ? ? ? ? : '#0F0F0F', # Graph background
? ? 'color_config2' ? ? ? : '#008000', # color in tab row of config screen
? ? 'color_gl' ? ? ? ? ? ?: '#2F4F4F', # Lines on the graph
? ? 'color_graphticks' ? ?: '#CCCCCC', # Graph ticks
? ? 'color_graphline' ? ? : '#00FF00', # graph data line color
? ? 'color_graphlabels' ? : '#00FF00', # graph label color
? ? 'color_btn' ? ? ? ? ? : '#141414', # button color
? ? 'color_check_btn' ? ? : '#005500', # color of a check button when it is checked
? ? 'color_cycle_btn' ? ? : '#005500', # color of a cycle button when it is checked
? ? 'color_adjust_btn' ? ?: '#005500', # color of an adjustable button when it is checked
? ? 'color_test' ? ? ? ? ?: '#005500', # color of a button used for test (turn off for tx)
? ? 'color_freq' ? ? ? ? ?: '#208B57', # background color of frequency and s-meter
? ? 'color_freq_txt' ? ? ?: '#00FF00', # text color of frequency display
? ? 'color_entry' ? ? ? ? : '#2E2E2E', # frequency entry box
? ? 'color_entry_txt' ? ? : '#00FF00', # text color of entry box
? ? 'color_enable' ? ? ? ?: '#00CC00', # text color for an enabled button
? ? 'color_disable' ? ? ? : '#FF0000', # text color for a disabled button
? ? 'color_popchoice' ? ? : '#555555', # text color for button that pops up a row of buttons
? ? 'color_bandwidth' ? ? : '#003300', # color for bandwidth display; thanks to WB4JFI
? ? 'color_txline' ? ? ? ?: '#00CC00', # vertical line color for tx in graph
? ? 'color_rxline' ? ? ? ?: '#00FF00', # vertical line color for rx in graph
? ? 'color_graph_msg_fg' ?: '#008800', # text messages on the graph screen
? ? 'color_graph_msg_bg' ?: '#1E1E1E', # background of text messages on the graph screen
}

Hi All,
?
Just a quick note of praise to Jim, N2ADR, about Quisk. Over the years I¡¯ve used Quisk on Windows and Linux with success but it has never been a quick and easy process. Connecting digital apps was also somewhat challenging.
?
I haven¡¯t used Quisk in a while but with the IQ balance adjustment available for softrock type radios I decided to give it another go on windows. I must say setup was a breeze other than one issue I¡¯ll cover below. Setup and configuration of WSJT-X and Fldigi went smoothly following the directions. IMHO Quisk has become a mature and capable program that I¡¯ll be recommending to folks.
?
The only issue I had was with how you install WSJT-X. Way back many years ago I was told to always install WSJT-X and WSPR to the system path. I don¡¯t remember the reason now but that is how I¡¯ve done it for many years. The issue is, if you have WSJT-X installed to the system path and you try and run Quisk with a softrock type radio, Quisk will not load. Quisk was working until I installed WSJT-X so I uninstalled it and reinstalled using default path and Quisk worked normally again.
?
Thanks again Jim for your many years of developing Quisk into a very capable and easy to use program!

Re: can't give Hermes LIte 2 a static IP address; now can't get Quisk to even find the HL2
Network issues are best addressed on the HL2 page. So lets work this out there.

can't give Hermes LIte 2 a static IP address; now can't get Quisk to even find the HL2
Last Friday (7/12) I was attempting to set up static ip addresses on my HL2 & Laptop-based Quisk. I tried various combinations using the IP related fields: ¡°Hermes Known IP¡±, ¡°IP Change¡±, ¡°Eeprom IP usage¡±, ¡°Eeprom IP Address¡±. While it appeared that the static address in the HL2 took, Quisk was never able to connect using static addresses. ?
?
I was successful at getting APIPA to work (269.254.x.x addresses) but never on static. I was routinely able to get quisk to find and control the hl2 using APIPA.
?
Late Friday I shut down the HL2.
?
Early this week I tried again but found I can no longer connect via ethernet to the hl2. I see the link light and some activity light but Quisk never finds the HL2. Also, the frequency of the activity light is much diminished from what I¡¯ve seen before.
Also, several fields that I was seeing last Friday no longer appear in the Config | HL2 tab. Specifically ¡°Eeprom IP Usage¡±, ¡°Eeprom MAC usage¡±, ¡°Eeprom IP address¡±, ¡°Eeprom MAC Address¡± are missing.
?
Hermes code version and board ID have not changed.
?
What could be wrong? Is there a way to reset the HL2 and/or rewrite eeprom? Do I need to rewrite the FPGA (without ethernet since it won¡¯t connect). Do I need to blow away and reinstall quisk (I¡¯m on version 4.2.31; current version is 4.2.35 so I¡¯m pretty up to date).

Re: Quisk Version 4.2.34 May 2024
Earlier in the topic /g/n2adr-sdr/message/2708?p=%2C%2C%2C20%2C0%2C0%2C0%3A%3Acreated%2C0%2Cmouse+wheel%2C20%2C1%2C0%2C75905016 I reported that the mouse wheel was not working properly to adjust the frequency in the main window when using Quisk 32 bits in Windows.. But the problem remains with Quisk 64 bits in Windows 8.1-64. Frequency tuning also does not work in frequency display. There are no problems in Windows 10-64!!!
I solved my problem (Windows 8.1-64) as follows:
if sys.platform.lower().startswith('win'):
? ? ? self.Bind(wx.EVT_ENTER_WINDOW, self.OnEnter)
in
quisk.py - class GraphDisplay - def __init__
quisk_widget.py - class FrequencyDisplay - ?def __init__
and
? def OnEnter(self, event):
? ? if not application.w_phase:
? ? ? self.SetFocus() ? ?# Set focus so we get mouse wheel events

What is ¡° DGT ¡° please ?
Quoting from the docs:
Quisk has a number of modes "DGT-" to receive and transmit digital signals. The modes "DGT-U" and "DGT-L" decode the signal as upper or lower sideband, and send the stereo audio to the digital sound device. The left and right channel are the same. The bandwidth is set with the filter buttons as usual, and the filter center is 1500 Hertz. The mode "DGT-IQ" does not decode the audio; the I/Q samples are sent directly to the stereo digital sound device.?

Hi
Bob,
As far as I know, the digital input and output devices only work
when DGT is selected. CW via Fldigi with a keyboard will work in this mode just
like RTTY or PSK.

Very useful addition to documentation, thanks.? Worked through it to operation.? I think this works only with DGT engaged, for psk etc.?? Pse is there any way to set up to work on cw?? I can do this via an audio monitor all inside Pulse of course.? Have not tried keyboard keying via fldigi.? 73 Bob g3udi?
