Hi,
is there a way to remove the grid in the worldmap pic which is shown if "Track" is active in DX / SWL Spotter?
I always see both grids, the one from Thetis and the other one from DX/SWL Spotter.
I assume the shown grid is part of the pic itself and can not be removed.
Maybe it is possible in a newer version from KE9NS.
Of course it is also possible to deactivate the grid in Thetis, but I don't like that.
I also noticed that "Time Sync" is not working.
Obviously NIST Time Server cannot be reached.
But it doesn't bother me, since the time is synchronized via Windows anyway.

Have you tried selecting Disable picDisplay under Appearance > General or alternately adjusting the Alpha of Appearance > Grid > Background

I assume you misunderstood something.
Deactivating picDisplay does not hide the grid on the DX/SWL Spotter worldmap, the worldmap pic completely disappears. Also adjusting the Alpha of Appearance> Grid> Background is not useful because it only changes the grid in the RX display and not that of the worldmap.
It's just a purely cosmetic thing, I just don't like the fact that the worldmap pic has its own grid, which also has no real benefit.
I think the worldmap pic could be replaced, but apparently it is embedded directly in Thetis.
At least I couldn't find it in the skin directory or anywhere else.

Probably my first suggestion was, but that is why I suggested maybe the Alpha slider may do something you wanted. But without seeing what you were expecting it was just suggestions, other than that I am not sure there is a user solution.

The grid is part of the actual photo used for the map

Already replaced it with another one. I have to test a few others as well.
I also changed the non working timeservers in DX/SWL Spotter.
It's not really important, but it annoyed me that the function didn't work.

Where was the map photo, in which directory? I wouldnt mind changing mine as well. I make all my own skins as well. Just wish the DX spotting and VOACAP actually worked with the map as well.

It is not possible to change the pictures without compiling the whole thing.
