- Setting account colors
- Colors for the charts and table rows associated with Primary and Secondary accounts
can be set sing these controls. Although completely separate colors
can be set for a chart and its related table rows, you can use the
arrows between the
color-setting buttons to copy the color from chart to table
or vice versa. The dropdown list on the right gives a choice of
pattern for the bar charts.
Note: Use the Apply button at the foot of the Preferences form to 'try out' new colors and patterns in the main program. If you don't like the final effect you have two options:
- Click either of the reset buttons (see below) - which will leave the Preferences form open, or
- Click the Cancel button which will undo the color changes and close the Preferences form.
- Simulation (market variability) colors
- This allows you to set the color and pattern for the upper chart when the Simulation of Market Variabilty function is ON.
- Reset all colors to user defaults
- Click this to cause all colors and patterns to revert to current program default values. (To alter the default values simply click the Save as default button to save the current color/pattern selection).
- Reset all colors to original defaults
- Click this to revert to the program's original colors and patterns. (This is a kind of panic button in case you have altered the current program defaults, but now wish you hadn't).
