Hi Colin,
Having changed from a previous computer logging system to "Winlog" and after using it for a few months, I am so pleased that I "bit the bullet" and changed over. I have used it in "contest" mode and for normal logging and find it performs very well.
There is just one small modification that would improve its use for me. I would find it a great help if the "active" box in the log entry window, could be coloured (say a pale colour), so that it is very obvious just where you are in making the next entry---I know that you have made the writing down the LHS change colour as you "Tab" through, but I work mainly CW (95%), and find at times that, juggling with the RX controls, making notes and trying to fill in the log as I go, can mean that I often am not sure at a glance just which box I am at, in the log input section.
I did write to you on this topic some time ago and you mentioned that you would try to have a look at it-----but as you clearly are just about to do some more work on the programme, I hope you will not mind me reminding you again

Hi Ted
Thanks for reminding me, yes this is something i had definately planned to do, and it will go near the top of the list, I do remember you mentioning it before.
I am currently working on a 'Winkey' interface for Winlog32, thats the brand new 'pic' keyer device from K1EL, this is an integrated hardware/software keyer and initial tests are looking very interesting indeed.
I am looking for comments from experienced CW operators in what they would like to have on such an interface, although I do not want to expand the contest feature too much.
Anyone who wants to find out more about 'Winkey', which will be available as a kit, can look it up on...........

In addition to above message - I have now added coloured 'active' input boxes to v2, In addition I have made it so that the user can select any colour - including custom colours for this purpose, of course you can also leave as-is with white background.
I would recommend that you use a pale colour is used though as any strong colour may mask the text input to some extent.
