Great response to the wish list, Dale.

I especially like the base status block.

I have never liked serif-fonts (newspaper reporter in college).  I makes for too much grey space.  San-serif is infinitely more readable when you only get a glimpse (stress moments).

Well done!

Hitech an easier way to check what's up and what's down on a base?

I like it.

But the base names should stay on the map and not be tied only to the popup.

Very impressed with how quickly you were able to implement that idea, HiTech.   

I find the font inside the box plenty large enough, and if it were adjustable I would probably decrease its size a little, trying for a bit more space between the lines of text for improved readability.

Alternatively, just the Disabled items could be listed - imagine in this example, just  the Fighter Hangars were down - it may be a little more difficult to quickly "see" that info, separating it from the other information listed in the box.   If an item is not listed, we can assume it is Enabled/Available.

Either way, I think its great and will be a useful new feature to the clipboard map!  The shaded radar coverage areas are much less cluttering than the white/red radar circles.

Two thumbs up! :aok :aok

The font size is controlled by the small med and large font choice in the video settings.

Make it red, so the newer folks that need it most can find it easier.

Havent been online in a few days but the screen shots looks really nice, an improvement. I hope that the dar rings disappear when radar is down.

I was hoping for a picture of a naked chick but all it was a picture of one of the game maps.  I feel cheated.
