I use a small 12" 1289x800 pixel laptop for my primary station, and found in the early days that there is a lot of wasted space (blank space) in the columns of the Band Activity and Call Acitivity tables that makes it hard to view all the data. My solution for the last several years has been to edit the source mainwindow.cpp and mainwindow.ui files as shown below to tighten up the table columns and contents. I suggest that this be made a selectable feature in the settings and/or as a command-line switch for those of us who use small screens.
Modifications to JS8Call-improved 2.4.0
Reduced Table Headers and contents for Small Screens
(Line numbers are shown below)
mainwindow.cpp
5050 - "Callsigns (%1)" ==> "Call(%1)"
5050 - "Callsign" in the same line as above ==> "Call"
10078, 10428 - "%1 ms" ==> "%1"
10074, 10419 - "%1 dB" ==> "%1"
10064, 10423 - "%1 Hz" ==> "%1"
mainwindow.ui
1063, 1264 - "Offset" ==> "Off"
1073, 1259 - "SNR" ==> "SN"
1078, 1269 - "Time Delta" ==> "TD"
1083, 1274 - "Speed" ==> "Sp"
1284 - "Distance" ==> "Dist"
1292 - "Azimuth" ==> "Az"
These edits yield a more compact set of tables, as shown below:
Band Activity Table
Callsign Activity Table
Can one of you guys code this and add it as a feature for the next release (2.4.1)?
