Once a QSO has begun, it would be great if the user could switch to a very simple "terminal style" window (like the one you see in VARA CHAT) which is free of all the other features. After all, all you want to do is chat, or possibly exchange files).
Such a simple display would also allow for increasing the text size too, so it could be read more easily.
The user would be returned to the standard VarAC UI once the QSO ended, and would be given the usual options (logging, QRG, etc).

Given it some thoughts. decided to reject this request. there is one screen with all you need. a simple mode would be to disable very few elements so I do not see the value.
I've got the largest fonts set already, Irad. They're good, but I think a simple screen where even more size options were available would be even better. I think a screen with no additional "distractions" would also make things more enjoyable when having a one-on-one chat. (Don't get me wrong, I LOVE all the features built into VarAC's UI. I'm just thinking about what is only necessary when in a QSO).
why not setting the text size in the first place Joe ? Making it big all the time?
