But never mind... there are far bigger issues with the whole view/edit separation mess. A little uppercasing really can't destroy much :).
maybe a help topic @joeloc? Microsoft Visual Studio tried All Caps font in menus a few years back, looked really ugly, and was later dropped. I do agree if I type a track name in mixed case, the window title should reflect my intention. All uppercase is ugly.

Could all files for a theme be copied and some renamed to "create" a new theme with different settings as preset workaround?

Wow - very nice!! I have wanted more control over the line. Thanks.

@menion could the new feature #full style editor for track recording# listed in the release notes be explained please?

I have same bike/ charge system. For me it is sufficient to display battery % on dashboard. If you see this % going up slowly over time you surely know the phone is charging? I also use GSam app with custom alarm to make sound when battery % goes above threshold, eg 60%. Then I stop the charging until it goes back below 40%.

@menion - I wrote last week that 3.21 beta had issue with map rotating too fast. Now in 3.22.1 it is perfect again with no need for user setting. I didn't see mention of change in the release notes?

OK thanks @Michal. Does the icon only appear when default function panel buttons are visible?
#1253
The functions panel topic describes a "+" button
http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:user_guide:functions:panel
Does this button really exist? I've never seen it before.

Try it for a while before deciding. It's been in the beta for a long time now. I'm generally quick to complain if screen space is used for non-map items on a small screen. I'm always looking for ways to hide these items too. But it's very quick to dismiss & hide the button.

You need to edit the text file config.sys in the Locus folder. Search for dev_gui_main_rescale_value, and experiment with values larger than 1.0. I generally use 1.2 or 1.3.

What I dislike is the notification center. I bought Pro to get rid of ads and now it sneaks back in by the app itself. Other apps also manage to notify you without cluttering the main application. I am fine with the Android notification bar, I dont want to waste precious real estate of my screen with a permament button. Please make this an opt-in instead of an opt-out.
@twil69 - the notification button is not permanent - I'd complain too if that were the case. Easy to dismiss any new items and button will hide. Don't stress too much.

@menion in the 3.21 beta you removed the compass filter setting. It seemed to be working fine but now in 3.22 Pro I find the map is jittering around quite badly, and is very annoying. I've uploaded a sample from a normal onroad bike ride yesterday to https://youtu.be/OjMuI29pzfc. Even at the office desk I can see the map rotation is much too fast.

So how do you do guys this winter? Was it short? All fine? :). At least little personal feelings should not be bad to share, I believe, hmm? In Czech it was really really freezy this year. Almost -20°C over night near Prague was probably record during last 4 years I live here ...
New record high temperatures, winds, rain in Australian summer. Bushfires earlier and later in summer season. +40degrees for weeks on end in some inland areas - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-01-13/nsw-heatwave-melting-roads-as-temperatures-soar/8172222

Vector maps have themes which have different style options, selected either by drop down menus or check boxes.
ahh yes, excellent suggestion to add these settings to (advanced) presets
