I need to change the color of the zoom line (alt-Z).
I have charts with white background and black OHLC bars. Very difficult to use the zoom functionality because the zoom line color is white.
Is this a bug or the color of the zoom line can be changed in some way?
Thanks a lot for your support.

The color of the Zoom In tool is controlled through the Chart Text color in Graphics Settings.

We have updated the documentation to state this, and you can find it here:

The color of the zoom is controlled through the Chart Text color in Graphic Settings, that's true.
Unfortunately, and this is my case, if you have a chart for which you are not using the Global Graphic Settings but the local Graphic Settings - Chart this is not working.
My chart has white Chart Background and black Chart Text in the local Graphic Settings - Chart.
The checkbox "Use Global Graphic Settings Instead Of These Settings" is not checked of course.
Therefore the color of the zoom line should be black, but unfortunately it is white and cannot be seen on the white background.
I attach here for your reference the screenshot of the configuration because I cannot upload it with the Edit - Screen Images functionality.
Please let me know how can help you further in fixing the bug.

OK we understand. It should not always be using the global chart text color setting but using either the global or chart specific setting depending on how the Graphics Settings is set for the chart.

This is now resolved.
