It is *not* useless if you are using the sound card DVK. It gives you a
visual indication that a voice message is playing back, and when you record
a new CQ using [Shift-F1], it lets you know if the mic. gain is too high
(red area lights up).

I cannot replicate this behavior.  Right click in the middle of the bar and
let go.  Pop-up window displays.  Left click "Close".  Window closes. It
doesn't go to Colors.  Are you using a trackball or laptop touch pad?  They
can be difficult to use.

New features that I was thinking about during this contest:

I'd love to try "two-keyboard" mode some time.  I wonder, since anyone can
plug a USB keyboard into a laptop, and use both of them at the same time, is
there any way for a Windows program to determine, via software, which one is
being used?  If so, one could dedicate the USB keyboard to "main" and the
laptop keyboard for "Radio 2", and you wouldn't need two computers.

Does anyone know if there is a Windows application that supports this?
