Color Themes
The color themes button is shaped like three vertical rectangles. Clicking this button opens a simple menu
which lists the available color themes. Each theme is a set of colors that facilitates the use of the software in
various lighting conditions. The software supports Day, Dusk, Night, and Red color themes. A theme may
be selected by clicking on a theme from the list.
Sonar Status
The sonar status indicator looks like a series of sound waves moving horizontally through the water. The
icon informs the user about the stength of the signal, and can be useful when in deep water to confirm that
the sonar is operating even if no targets or seafloor are being detected.
The most likely cause of an off icon (and a non-functioning system) is having no network connection to the
sonar. Otherwise, a dot with no bars indicates that there is little to no signal, one bar indicates a low strength
signal, two a medium strength signal, and three bars a high strength signal.
