VFO Flag Orientation?

in SmartSDR for Windows

SmartSDR for Windows v3.7.4.

Is there a way to "flip" the VFO flag to the other side of the VFO frequency?

I know I can if I slide the pan toward the edge, but if I want the flag near the middle is there a way to flip it?

Here's my scenario. I usually have SmartSDR at a certain height. Today I fired up another panadapter so I can monitor both hurricane watch net freq's. The height of the spectrum happens to be about the same size as the VFO flag. I know I can make the window bigger, but with some other stuff I have open I don't want to:

The top is 20m and the flag is on the left, perfect to see the USB signal. The bottom is on 40m LSB and the flag is also on the left, which covers up the LSB signal. I'd either like to flip it myself or have the flag smart enough to flip itself based on mode.

Is this possible?

Thanks so much!

    Suggestions:

    1. Reduce the size of the waterfall to increase the size of the spectrum display. Easily done by clicking on the dividing line and dragging down.

    2. Place the two panadapters side-by-side instead of vertically.

    3. Get a larger monitor. I have a 43" 4k monitor, the equivalent of a 2x2 array of 4 24" 1080p monitors. For SmartSDR and all the other software that I run with it (DXLab, KPA1500 control panel, LP-500 remote and others) it is just perfect.

    You can try hitting the A or the B and the Flag goes away until you need it again.

    See if that works for you.
