Hello, 1) DARK WINDOW The title bar is now black, but these parts of the main window stay light: the main menu bar (white), the chartbook tab strip at the top and the chart tab strip at the bottom (light gray, about RGB 240,240,238), and the window frame/borders (gray). Is there any supported setting or config option to make the menu bar, tabs and frame dark? If not, is a dark theme for these elements planned? I would like to avoid High Contrast themes and third-party skinning tools. 2) SCALING I use chartbook templates that were made on a display with Windows scaling at 200%. On my 100% display they look much larger and less dense. Fonts are set in points and scale with DPI, but pixel-based values (DOM column widths, Numbers Bars column widths, Bar Spacing, line widths, histogram widths) stay the same in device pixels, so I see far fewer bars and rows than the original author. - Which settings are in device pixels and which scale with Windows DPI? - Can Sierra Chart scale pixel-based values or fonts on its own, independent of Windows scaling, for this one instance? - What is the recommended way to reproduce a layout made at 200% on a 100% display, other than manually halving every pixel value? Thank you. |
