Post From: Time Line study and custom text label background color

The text that is displayed with the Time Line study is actually a drawing, it is not the Name or Value label. As such, there is no control to allow for a background with text through the subgraphs.

The only way to get what you are wanting would be to modify the source code for the study and setup the drawing as you want it. The code is in the Studies2.cpp file in the ACS_Source folder under your main Sierra Chart installation folder.

Refer to the following:
