It is hard to read the amount of the bid when the item is highlighted/selected with the dark blue back-colour.
NEW, SIMPLE ANSWER:
The selection color is inherited from your operating system (i.e.
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc.), but it can be configured. In the
Window menu bar item, there's a menu item 'Change Selection Color'
with which you can configure the background color for selected
lines.
OLD, COMPLEX ANSWER:
The selection color is inherited from your operating system (i.e.
Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, etc.), but it can be configured. If you
go into JBidwatcher's Configuration Manager (the two checkbox icon,
or File | Configure), and go to Advanced.
For the key, type in selection.color, and for the value, enter a hex representation of the color you want, in RRGGBB format. This might not mean anything to you, so here are two colors that might be good to start with:
C6A646 for a slightly brown/tan-ish selection (my
default on Windows) and
999999 for a medium grey selection.
Some outrageous ones are:
cc0000 – bright red
00cc00 – bright green
0000cc – deep blue (probably even more
unreadable)
You could also use a web color picker and take the values out of the background box under the palette.

Sniping
- I assumed that the bidding would just take care of itself, that everytime I got outbid, the auto-snipe feature would bid for me AND snipe.
- What are the recommended snipe times (seconds before auction ending) to set for different kinds of connections? (Cable, DSL, etc.)?
- If here are no bids, will program still work and bid opening bid for me? Or, if I already have highest bid, will it just let it go and not bid up, so I will win?
- If I have a snipe set on an auction, do I have to leave my computer on with JBidwatcher running for this to work?
