Bill, Ira,

Here's the problem (referring to Bill's screenshot above, enlarged 25%):

Big Glen's last line should show a Strong Move (SM) marker between the 2nd and stretch calls (gained 5 positions). You can see a gap between the red and the green of the Stretch calls for the 1st and 2nd lines where the SM underline marker should be (is). The same gap does not exist between the two reds of the final calls of the same 2 races (i.e. no SM).

The problem is that your particular graphics adapter is interpreting the pale blue colour I used for SM markups as being effectively invisible (or too close to the background colour to see it). The SM marker is there (you can see the gap) but with a useless colour. I wanted the marker to be relatively unobtrusive, so I chose a pale colour which worked OK on 3 of my screens and a few others'.

For the next release, I will make it so you can control the colour used for both the Layoff marker and the SM marker in case the default colour does not work for your graphics card. I'll also make the default colour be the same light grey used for the Layoff markers.

Thanks for that report - I think that fixes it. (In the meanwhile, if you felt like it, you could twiddle with the colour settings on your monitor so that that colour shows up as something visible...)
