Would you please add the possibility to change background/text color for Alert Manager? I'm using it instead of quote board and white background is VERY bright for the eyes.

Thanks for your cosequent efforts to make our lives as traders easier by providing the best analytical software out there!

Slight variation to OP request.

I can see where his request has been actioned.

If I go to Global Settings < Graphic Settings-Global < General Text Window Foreground Color; it does indeed allow you to change the color of the Alert MANAGER window, but the actual Popup Alerts window (eg Time Alert) are still the stock standard background color (see my screen grab attached).

I am more interested in being able to color the background for the Popup Alert so it stands out eg by using the same 'red' colour that the Alert Highlight uses.

Is this possible to add?

And related to this, is it possible for you to control (or does MS Windows not allow this) the 'Always on Top'? The Alert Popup window will not take precedence over a chart that is ticked as Always on Top (AoT). I ticked the setting in the Alert Manager window for AoT but it had no effect on the Popup Alert window itself. It would be great if the Alert Popup window took precedence over anything else on the chart in terms of prominence of display.

Thanks

No, this is not something that would be added.

This is not supported either.

We cannot help you on either of these.
