I was just about to do that and found a topic exactly describing my idea:
https://help.locusmap.eu/topic/37122-shift-map-cursor-configurable

So I'm not the only one.

Hi Menion,

my proposal is an additional setting (in [%]) related to "shift map cursor", which then is used instead of 1/4. Default should be 25% (=1/4). Then I could set it to ca. 10%, which would fit better to my needs. What do you think?

Vector map themes.

No, "MTB Europe" is a classic tile map.

Great! I will wait for version 4.30+ and then come back here. Many thanks Menion!

Which kind of theme do you mean? I had changed the setting "Dark theme" to "Dark" recently (visible in my screenshot). I just changed it to "System settings" and renewed one thumbnail. No change, the picture in the thumbnail is the same. Set it back to "Dark".
Or did you mean the map I use on the map screen (which is used for the background of the thumbnail)? That is an offline map downloaded from "MTB Europe" and was not changed recently. But in an older version of Locus Map this map still was not used for the thumbnails. The background remained white, and so the track still was recognizable despite the small line width. The map is only used since version 4.28.3 for the thumbnails.

Found it and switched off again. Many thanks!

But by the way: For me "1/4 closer to the bottom" does not mean, that the red cross had to be placed just close to the bottom edge. Instead I had expected, that it would be placed a bit below the center of the screen. Obviously the heights of the top and bottom bars of the map screen is integrated into the calculation of the shifted position. I would like to have a possibility to adjust that distance in any way.

Hi,

since the newest version (4.28.3) I find it hard to recognize the tracks in the thumbnails displayed in the track list (see screenshot), because the line width used to draw them into the thumbnails is too small. Without the map as background it still was possible, but now with map it isn't. Can the line width please be increased a little bit again (like it was in some older versions)?

Hi,

for me currently (version 4.28.3) the red cross marking the map center is moved to the bottom of the map screen (see screenshot), when the rotation by compass is switched on. I'm not sure, whether I switched this on by changing a setting, or whether it is so, since the new version was installed. Is there any setting to switch this behaviour off again? It is annoying for me, when moving towards a road crossing, where I want to turn left or right, as too few map parts are visible in this situation.
