ciao stefano vai su usr/share/cqrlog/images da li puoi cambiare grayline.bmp sempre con lo stesso nome con una altra mappa a tuo piacere per fare una prova dentro sempre images ce una mappa con nome bigearth.bmp che naturalmente rinomerai con grayline.bmp.
ciao e 73

P.S.: Should I ask to USE ENGLISH EXCLUSVELY? I am pretty sure that you will reply in a less polite way if we start to exchange info in Czech language...

Thanx!

Thanx!

Grazie Flavio.
Buona serata

P. S.: Se chiedo di utilizzare l'inglese? Sono abbastanza sicuro che vi risponderà in un modo meno educato se cominciamo a scambiare informazioni in lingua ceca ...

Grayline background image

I also hate the grayline background image from the original installation package. It is simply too dark with too much contrast for my eyes (and monitor settings, although they should be set to its optimal values, also I tried to calibrate my screen). I use for years an alternate background image which is available for download here:

http://www.cqrlog.com/files/BigEarth.bmp.tar.gz

See also the menu topic Additional files.

Switching is very simple - unpack and put into your CQRLOG images directory, ie.

/home/martin/.config/cqrlog/images

(my user directory is named 'martin')

The file BigEarth.bmp is already present here and should be overwritten, the file name is a mandatory.

In "additional files" menu the download link doesn't work.

This doesn't work. the folder

This doesn't work. the folder images is empty, when putting the image, and even changing to greyline.bmp does not work. I still have the cqrlog's default map which is horrible :)

HI Thomas!

You are looking at 9 years old thread. All messages are from 2012. Perhaps that one works better https://www.cqrlog.com/node/3234
