This is an interesting thread to see what others have chosen for their display systems.

Regarding N1MM+ taking a lot of screen real estate when running RTTY, some space can be saved by turning off the default 24 message macros that show up in the DI-1 and DI-2 windows. To accomplish this, go into the DI menu bar - Setup > Settings > Message Setup tab and near the upper right corner, set Number of Message to 0. That will allow you to squeeze the DI window vertically to show only 4 or 5 lines of RX text. This retains the 12 S&P and 12 Run macros in the Entry Window what should be more than adequate for serious contesting.

Jim tnx for the suggestion. I remember (it goes more than 6 months I was looking on this) that I searched in help files how to reduce the size of rtty windows (it was my main problem). I reduced it but not so small as in writelog where there are only the necessary info (decoded text and nothing else). I will look agn according your suggestions.

similar configuration. Of course we use other programs as wintest and writelog which both ask for much less room... I believe n1mm+ should improve his layout to fit in smaller screens

Hi Kostas,

Have you looked at the Skins and Fonts tab on the Config Tab? The size of the main entry window is set by the various font sizes, and that ripples down to most other windows. Also, all windows except the main entry window have "up/down" spinners in the top right corner that vary the font size. Once you've reduced font sizes, windows can be rearranged or made smaller.
