Additional info:
The message pops up when after expanding the chart to full screen, I reduce it back to it's tile size. It does not come up when expanding to full screen.

This is an operating system error relating to the use of transparent graphics within Sierra Chart. You could be using transparency with studies and the highlight drawing tools. We recommend not using transparency.

When this happens we recommend a user restarts their computer.

I have used the transparent time highlights for almost a year and never had the problem before. I tried the regular time highlights but for my purposes the transparencies are much preferred. I restarted the computer several times and was not able to get rid of the message. Any other suggestions as to what might have caused it now after using them for an extended time? And most importantly, is the only issue an error message or is it creating some other problem that I can't see? Thanks

We really do not have any suggestions.

If you visually do not see a problem with the transparent graphics, then the only issue is just the error message.

In the next release, we will prevent that message from opening the Message Log.
