Reply to color contrast options for dark mode? in Connection Explorer Stardock Forums

[quote who="Videlous" id="542062"] In dark mode of connection explorer, the purple is barely legible (for me) due to lacking color contrast on the gray background. The green is fine, but may not be for others (colorblind individuals.) Could we get either: A: True dark mode with black instead of gray background. B. An option to change the text color to whatever we choose. Anyone else have issues with color choices? [/quote] Will have a be

[quote who="emteec" reply="3995692" id="542004"] I'm not seeing any Amber or Purple lines. Just the green & purple dots. [/quote] The only show once a minute or so and it's brief. I need to figure out a better way to work these visuals in...when i had them showing all the time/more frequently, it was noise and was hard to make sense of it. More improvements coming, just need to figure out how the data should be represented.

Reply to Connection Explorer 1.1 Release Thread in Connection Explorer Stardock Forums

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="3995637" id="542004"] Very happy with this release, so far. Haven't had time to explore deeply, but the zoom is excellent for the most part. I did have an instance where the cursor (regular, vanilla MS cursor) covered part of the contents of the small window...might it be helpful to have an empty "hover zone" to avoid covering the print? Just a thought. Great software! [/quote] If you are able to grab a screenshot
