Ok i finally found the bug (unless your intent @itsab1989 was that)

all the settings in Chromiq Preferences panel that i change (for example in Chart Layout, font, size, offset and all the rest) are not applied at the chart i'm creating, i need to change the values, exit from Chromiq, relaunch it and now all the settings will be active, but if i need to change a value, i need to change it, exit Chromiq, start it again and now it works.

Hope it can help you to debug
Thanks for your detailed report. And sorry that I did not pay more attention to this before. At this very moment an update should be on GitHub that improves on this and now you should be able to apply changes to those settings without closing and restarting the app - clicking OK in the settings should be enough.

Edit: well give it 5 minutes to finish maybe 😅

We found that non-randomized charts can sometimes cause issues when measuring them and chartread might then not be able to reliably figure out in which direction a strip has been read or where one patch ends and the next one starts.
Randomization improves this quite a lot and should eliminate this error. However since it randomization is - well - random there is still a chance that you run into a combination where things might be a little difficult.
We try to take care of this so when you randomize it tries to figure out a good seed where it minimalises this risk but from a certain of patches you can‘t avoid a certain similarity anymore. However the most important thing is that two patches next to each other are not too similar and that each strip looks different from both directions. The warning it gives you also takes into account that for example strip B and AF have some similarity but in reality they should never mismatch because you have to read them in a strict order anyway.
