Yes I'm aware that some icons changed completely, but I believe that they are more representative for it's actions - like import, export, sorting, filtering etc. I believe it will be an easy task to start work with them .

1. In settings the icons are now black (and white). Improvements?
2. where is the release notes ?
3. where can I scale the map cursors?

@balloni55: I start login to GD. Firstly name, then pass. Then in same window appear new web page screen with place for insert of security code. This I received over SMS, inserted into field and press "OK" (or something like this). And voala, screen with "Locus requires permission to .." appear. Confirm - and working.

Did you do something different? Like closing this login screen before security code arrives as SMS or over email?

@jusc: Scinkk (graphics guys) convinced me to reduce colors of all images to simple black/white. Previously not just settings icons had some various small colorization. To be true, I also liked it, anyway in our company works voting system where it was 2:2 (black/white vs colored) so Scinkk's decision has final word . Anyway we will see also in the field (on the sun), if black/white without (from my point of view) useful colors will be a "problem". Two other questions - thanks balloni.

Thank you

But now my kompass cursor for rotating map on top left looks very ugly and is much bigger as before.
The map rotates too . Bug?

confirm behavior, but it didn´t depend on scale size by me

Btw I can´t attach the screenshot directly.

why not? Add image to post

hmm nice compass btw. So better to exclude this compass arrow from "scaling", what you think?

Rotating of map ... you probably have enabled rotation of map .

as i wrote for me it didn´t depend on scaling, it´s also on scaling both  by 100%

yes it´s correct.

I even can´t see the image you have attached to the screen, because it´s blocked by the firewall. 

@menion,
until today I didn´t miss the possibility to scale the cursors and it doesn´t depend form scaling as balloni wrote.
And you are right, rotating map was enabled in Locus free

now with good internet connection it work as you describe i think i was too impatient with bad internet connection waiting for the second screen

Thanks for the explanation Wolfgang. Nice feature. Did I miss the discussion/ how did you find the setting?

I tried Red Cursor V2 with large 150%


but the cursor on map is tiny little dot (can you see it? even at 150% is so small):


for comparison when I select the Locus v.2014 cursor it is displayed on the map correctly:

I now don't see any compass in the beta, and in Pro I now see this oversize fragment of a truncated triangle:

I thought it may have something to do with config.cfg setting: dev_gui_main_rescale_value=1.3
so I commented that out, but it made no difference to the compass.
