Coloured log entry boxes!!

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
