Hi, I'd like to know what is the better the way to search for specific settings if I want to tweak some colors on a Dom or a Chart. I find myself losing incredible amount of time whenever I try to adjust a simple color in the chart graphic settings. Is there no way to have some sort of search box? Is there no way have the settings in alphabetical order? For example (see screenshot in green), i'm trying to change the color of the dom's highlight box on the sell side. Can't find the settings after 15min of search ^.^ Any help would be appreciated! |

Is there no way to have some sort of search box?
Not at this time. That window is being reworked to our new style, and when that is done a search will be available on there. But, you can search through the documentation for the specific setting you are looking for. The main graphics settings documentation is here: Graphics Settings Graphics Settings that are specifically related to trading can be found here: Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM Is there no way have the settings in alphabetical order?
There is no support for this. They are organized in a specific fashion such that related items are grouped together. For example (see screenshot in green), i'm trying to change the color of the dom's highlight box on the sell side. Can't find the settings after 15min of search ^.^
That particular item is a bit "hidden" in where it is available, so we are not surprised you had an issue finding it. To change the color of that box, you need to change the color for the "Chart/Trade DOM Buy Column Lines". Refer to the following: Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart DOM Buy Column Lines (also Order Entry Highlight Box) Note that the information that this is also the "Order Entry Box" is in the documentation. Also, be aware that there are settings for the "Chart DOM" and "Trade DOM", so you would need to change the appropriate one depending on which chart type you have.
