Thank you very much for the feedback. :)

  1. Good idea, will do.
  2. That colour palette selector is actually deprecated but when so many programs use it... The RGB colour selector, while being more "heavy" compared to a colour palette selector, is finger-friendly and does give greater control.
  3. Alas, this I cannot do. The functions for getting the current operator name are in closed source libraries, with no way available for me to utilize them. :\

  • Limiting the text input to 36 chars may be desirable
  • IMO, a color-palette (e.g Xterm-Font) is friendlier than a RGB specifier
  • It would be nice to be able to add text to the current operator as a format specifier '%f' or something. This would allow display of the current carrier and custom text.
  • Thanks!
