Hi
Is there anywhere to access other color themes for the charts? without having to change each color myself?

I basically would prefer a black background, but don't wanna find out later that something got hidden inadvertently.

If some can share dark color preset that would be great too. Pls help. Thanks.

Here is my configuration file for the Global Settings if you find it useful. I've attached a copy of my main platform with these colors. The background is not "Black" but a dark charcoal, black is too hard on my eyes but of course you can change whatever you want.

Xfanman, I noticed your times for RTY futures are off by +1 hour on the charts. They seem to be reflecting EST? , when in fact it should be CST. Your thoughts?

In regards to the Sierra3.CFG file provided. You need to put that into the main Sierra Chart folder and do that only when Sierra Chart is not running.

You can use any time zone that you want. Refer to:

I'm on Eastern Standard Time and since the Index Futures open aligns with the Equity Markets I base all my times off of that time zone. I have background color changes on my charts setup to give me a heads up when each market is about to Open or Close "just in case".

Thanks

To the best of my knowledge, you set the Time Zone under Global Settings/Data/Trade Service Settings/Time Zone and/or you can set each charts Session time under Chart/Chart Settings/Main Settings/Session Times.
