Default GRAM windows on P3/Helo

Curious if it would be possible to make the sonar buoy Data Display Windows (GRAMS) more functional.
Granted there are a lot of windows to use, 16 windows/8 buoys if each buoy uses only 2 windows.

The issue on the P3/Helo (Not sure of ships) is many times you cannot click on contacts.
The little green dots in each window are so close together you cannot even create a new classification without spending 2 minutes trying to actually get the mouse to select a green dot.

The current graphic image has a lot of wasted space which could be used to make the vertical size of those GRAMS much bigger. Width isn't an issue, just that they are too dang compact to use properly.
Even a zoom feature would work.

It's coded in DLL files. Back in the days Kegetys made a mod for the helo to have 16 channels.

You might ask him how he did that and what's possible further.

Yea that's what's in the game now and much better than having only 4 grams.

I played around yesterday with the image files for this screen. I could make the 4 black areas taller but couldn't quite get the Display and Freg Alert images to move up correctly.
Ended up having duplicate words merged together that looked like below but kinda mushed together haha;

Of course I was doing this with MS Paint....all I have for editing an image..
