Colour Printing, Fonts, and Cumulative Dive Times

Post by pgammer »

I'm sure it's minor in the scale of things, but could you consider adding colour to the printing functions?

If I had my way ;-) how about
- Blue for the dive profile
- Blue/Green for captions/labels (i.e. Rating: , Max Depth: , Duration
- Black for the values (i.e. 42.00 metres, 42:30 times)
- A light shade of grey or blue for the background each of the boxes

In the notes section, could you consider making this a fixed width font? For deep dives, I paste the dive plan from V-Planner into this box. As it's a proportional font the columns don't line up.

For cumulative dive times, could you perhaps add an option to toggle between days/hours and just hours? 100 hours on a rebreather means more to me than 4 days, 4 hours.

Love the program - been on board ever since Suunto stuffed up with DM4 and Movescount ;-) ... Also enabled me to dump my Windows virtual machine too !

Thanks for the feedback - I've been looking at revamping the printouts, but not had a chance just yet. Busy with the latest update. But this is good stuff and I'll keep it in mind.

Colour is often requested, and the other ideas are all pretty good. Being a fan of fixed-width fonts, I can certainly look at that too.
