Regarding the small rig selection box at the top center of the main Log4OM V2 screen (just left of the gear symbol), is very hard to see. It selects rig 1 or 2, but the number is black and the background is dark grey. More contrast between the number and the background color would be helpful.
I suggest making the background color white or light grey.

Good input, but might also be related to one's monitor and associated video drivers. I'm just mentioning that as a possibility.
I've attached a screen clip of my Rig Selection box and (at least for me) it is quite viewable.
Take a look at the Elevation selection box which could approximate what you are suggesting. One of the differences in the Rig Selection box (for now) is that the character font is 'bolded' so it tends to stand out a bit more now.
Will certainly put on our consideration list for cosmetic tweaks.

Re: Rig Selection Box
I believe you are correct. I am having CAT problems with my 7610. Rig 2 is a 7300 and works great. When I click Connect - CAT - Show Cat Interface OK, It changes the rig from 1 to 2. I will bet it is my problem...THANKS!

Re: Rig Selection Box
Nolan,
When I saw your screenshot I thought yours was much more visible than mine. I would not think monitor would come into play as its a screen shot but certainly would not rule out video drivers.
Below is a screenshot of my Log4OM over the top of your screenshot. Oddly all our colors seem to be very similar but the rig selection box certainly is different. I don't use it as I have switched to HamLib to get some benefits that OmniRig wont provide but I can see where it would be harder to read for some that others.
Darn computers !

Re: Rig Selection Box
Rich,
FWIW ... I've not made any color adjustment selections with my monitor ... running as whatever the default is at 100% display.
I used to run at 125%, but too many display differences from many different APPs so gave up on that and moved the monitors closer to my eyes and the next time I get some new 'readers' I'll bump up the power a tad.
I've also not made any changes to the color displays inside V2 to impact anything there ... save for some tests I've done during development and/or aiding in trouble-shooting.

Re: Rig Selection Box
I am continuing to have issues with rig1/rig2, OmniRig or whatever.
I have a 7610 Rig1 and 7300 back up Rig2. One or the other will not have a frequency display on the home page and will not have CAT control. When I am having problems, if I re-initiate OmniRig, often the rig selection box will change to the unselected transceiver.
Something is unstable. If I don't change rig selection, all is well. But when I do change from one transceiver to the other, either CAT will no longer work, the frequency display will show offline and/or the transceiver will not key my SPE 1/5K-FA amplifier.
I have ferrite chokes everywhere possible and no other signs of RFI.
Any thoughts. I never had this issue with V1.

Re: Rig Selection Box
Which version of Omnirig you are using ? Latest original is 1.19. There is a "V2" somewhere in
the www that provides 4 rigs but this is not working correctly with Log4OM V2. Also please
set Omnirig and Log4OM V2 to "Run as Administrator". That´s needed to use multithreading
functionality of Omnirig.

What connection to the radios/computer are your using to key the SPE amplifier
