Notes
We tried updating the core engine that powers GridTracker v1.24.0920, NWJS to version 0.78.1 which has some performance improvements on Windows 11 and macOS. However this caused Windows 7, 10 and Ubuntu installs to have issues. We have reverted to 0.68.1 in this release v1.24.0922.
You can now move buttons in the button panel, hold down the shift key (⇧) and right-click a button to begin moving. The button will have a dashed border when in edit mode.
You can then right-click another button to swap positions with the selected button and editing is complete.
OR
Use the Left (⬅️) and Right (➡️) Arrow keys or Mouse-Wheel (📜) to move the button left or right.
To finish editing press right-click on the button being edited or the ‘Enter key ⏎’ or the ‘Esc key’ or move the mouse out of the button panel.
You can reset the button order in Settings → General → Reset Button Panel

Notes
I replaced the “Conditions” button image with a near real-time Planetary K-Index (Kp). It updates every 5 minutes with the last 5 minute observed Kp. It is not a forecast value. The background changes color depending on the severity of the Kp. Clicking the button still opens the hamqsl.com conditions & solar images window.
Map View Filters can now be hidden/minimized, giving more room for those with smaller desktops.
6 character Maidenhead locators aka MH6 is now only available in Pin mode. We have received way too many support issues where users have entered into MH6 and “lost” all their grids not knowing that they were still there, just small. Unfortunately, this caused a shift in the button positions when in Grid mode.
