On my website click on the Left side quicklink "Skins"

This explains how to create your own "Skin" (which also includes button skins and overall console background).

Its best to copy over the contents on an existing "Skin" folder, (with a new folder name) as a good starting point, and modify your new "Skin" folder.

The picDisplay.png image (panadapter skin) is what you would need to modify in order to add your call sign.
I use PhotoShop, but you can use anything that will work with a png image file.

The Panadapter skin will only show on your monitor when all the other MAPS (DX, F-Layer, D-Layer, Lightning, and Cloud cover World Maps) are turned OFF.

Attached is one I made years ago. It has fake spotlights (i.e. dial lights) coming from above (to help simulate an old radio dial)
