The annoying bug that the first keystroke is ignored when hepax is loaded has been resolved. Thanks.

Hello
What new plans or features are there for the other set of emulators (28, 42, 48, 71 series)? or just bug maintenance

[MeindertKuipers]

Thank you for maintaining this great piece of software!

As screen resolutions get higher and my eyes are getting older, I would like to make a request for an Extra Large size in addition to the existing set.

You should save your money and don't buy super-duper 4k monitors. :) I'm still using normal HD monitors with 24'' or 27'' width, then the "Large" selection is big enough also for my "old" eyes.

But back to the topic. I made some tests with larger background images, the current limitation is the annunciator font and in parts the non-true type segment font. Actual I made and implemented a background image with a size of 424x777 pixel, which is about 35% larger than the "Large" picture with 311x575 pixel size.

We cannot buy super duper monitors. We spend all our money on calculators. That is why we like your free software so much!

The 35% size incease would already make a huge difference, so it would be really great if that could be implemented. And the problem is actually on my 13" laptop screen ...

I know, that is exactly what I did, I bought a high end 32 inch 4K Dell display port monitor.
... to configure it as a 2K monitor to get things big enough for my failing eyes.
