Hi I followed the instructions. But making changes to inactive title bar text color does not change the color determined by windows. Is there additional setting to ask windows to relinquish control? |

I thought in the new version I can change font text color on detached windows title bars from the graphic settings within sc. Is this not right? On a separate note, when I change the font text color for windows title bar from windows it changes for apps other than sc but it does not change for sc. I have tried on 2 different computers. Same results. At present the font text color on sc detached windows is light Grey on white. It is not easily readable. |

This is not right. Detached windows are still managed by the Operating System. So those window colors are set by the OS. Windows that are displayed within the Sierra Chart main graphics area (attached windows) are the ones where you can change the colors and fonts and the other items that have been made available.
