Position report text is difficult to read in bright light - can I change it?

Hi

On the SD MD, when you touch the aircraft to get a position report, the text is sort of grey on grey (on my unit). This can be difficult to read if there is any reflected light from outside the cockpit, because the glare from external light makes the screen a similar grey colour.

However, on the iPad, I see that the position report is yellow on dark grey, which is easier to read.

Is there a way to change the text colour on SD mobile? Alternatively, Tim, could I request a change to make the position report more readable?

This is something we plan to address for the forthcoming 2.4 version. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

Further to the above:

Touching the aircraft symbol on an iPad mini brings up the normal 'What's here?" box, whereas the same action brings the very useful back box with contrasting text showing current location on the iPhone.

Is there any way I can get the same tap-to-open current location box to show on the iPad as it does on the iPhone please, or perhaps an option for a better contrast/ increased text size in the top box - I ask as I find reading the yellow text at the screen top can be a problem in bright light conditions (v.3.12.7.187 on iPad mini in an RV7) and a clearer presentation of that information would a very useful option to have at times.

Kind regards
Adrian
