Uploading a picture of trendline compared to Tradingview.

The trendline is not as perfect looking like in Tradingview. The color, line and the pixels are breaking up. Dont know if I have something wrong in SC (Open GL is turned on) or if this is the best it looks.

Update :

I switched my monitor to my GPU and It has gotten better but still not the best (like TV). I am still seeing some breaks in the lines which are not straight. I am not sure if this is the best it gets.

Uploading the updated screenshot compared to TV. If you zoom in a lil you'll notice the breaks. Left is TV and the right is SC

Thanks

This not within the scope of our support. The other line is drawn with 4 colors and uses an optical illusion to trick you into thinking it is smooth when it is not.

Is it possible to change font text color in compact tools value window? in the font settings - the color option isnt doing anything and it resets to black but other font settings are working.

We are not seeing any issue with changing the color of the text in the Compact Tool Values Window.

The one thing we do see with this, is that you have to select "OK" on the "Graphics Settings - Colors" window for the actual color to update in the window. This may be the same in the previous Graphics Settings window as well, but we do not know. But make sure you do this in either case and see if you continue to have an issue.

Also, make sure you are changing the color in the correct location - Chart Specific versus Global. Refer to the following:
