[Dx4win] DX4WIN 6.03 Packet Spotting

I purposely waited to upgrade from 4.07 because of all the changes 
and discussions on the various Priority levels for packet spots.   
I paid for the 6.02/6.03 upgrade but it appears the new version 
does not have the same capability that 4.07 had in terms of coloring 
spots.

Perhaps someone can enlighten me.  Here's my story:

I chase band/mode combinations.  V4.07 was simple - it had new
country, new mode, new band, new band/mode.   Once a new
band/mode combination was worked, the spot was in blue indicating
that band/mode combination was worked, but not confirmed.

V6.03 still has the band/mode capability, but it is now priority 6.
Unfortunately, some of the spots I am interested in show up
first as priority 4 or 5 as a particular mode or band for that
country may not be confirmed.  In that case I can never get the
priority level 6 alert.   The fact that something (anything)
is not confirmed should not tale precedence over something
that is not even worked.  I can always find out if a band/mode
combination is not confirmed, as that is level 7 priority.

So, in summary, I love priority levels 1,2,3,6,7,8,9.   I need
to find a way to "turn off" priority levels 4 and 5.   

Any comments, hints, or suggestions?  Or I am doing something
wrong here?

Thanks,
John
