When there are multiple charts in a chartbook can you make it so the selected charts border is a different color so we can tell which chart is selected?

I have chart trading selected only on 1 chart so my other charts aren't cluttered with position/orders icons. Sometimes when selecting Buy on my Control Bar with the wrong chart selected, I have to close the Message Log window, select the correct chart and then select buy/sell on the Control Bar.

The selected chart border typically is a different color, usually slightly darker than the others. But the coloring is controlled by the Operating System, so it's possible that in your particular case that they are the same. You would have to look into how it is set for your system.

Only when you show title bar, which takes up more room. I am referring to charts without the title bar.

Thanks

This is controlled by the operating system color settings. You need to refer to those settings. We cannot provide further help.

I think you may be misunderstanding my request, With "Show Title Bar" unchecked each chart in a chartbook has a narrow border all the way around. As you can see in my attached image, there is no way to tell which chart is selected. I am requesting the selected chart have a different color when "Show Title Bar" is NOT selected.

Once again this is controlled by the operating system. Sierra Chart has no control over that color at all. None at all. If you decide to remove the title bars, you have to accept the consequences of this.
