DOM Window Horizontal Center-line

Static Horizontal Line in middle of window (vertical middle) is EXTREMELY useful for trading against correlated markets shown on DOMs that are tiled horizontally next to eachother.

Please either:
1. allow re-center line to be made static relative to window height (sticky to window), so it doesn't move when you scroll price up/down; or,
2. allow adding a simple window-wide (sticky to window) static horizontal line (thick black line is fine i.e. size 5) at the vertical middle of the DOM window (vertical middle). I would like to be able to scroll by DOM prices without this line moving with the prices (sticky to window rather than sticky to price), unlike the current re-center DOM line, which sticks to the price rather than the window...

The key is to be able to scroll prices under the line, so you can adjust your correlation spreads across prices in different markets, irregardless of which prices they are currently trading at... I may be trading 05 to 15 to 35 across three markets and 5 min later the correlation may become 05 to 12 to 40... if I could re-align my DOMs manually to that new spread, it would be awesome!

This is one of the best features for professional traders in X-trader: that the DOMs have a horizontal centerline for each DOM window, and you can manually scroll your prices to line them up across DOMs to reflect a correlation...

BUG
Slight bug with this... the line shouldn't be in the middle of the text row... it should be either top or bottom of the row... coding-wise, maybe just have the line adjust based on current row height, and just default to top or bottom... either top or bottom is fine, and it doesn't need to be editable to change top/bottom... you can just hard-code that...

ALTERNATIVE FIX/SOLUTION PROPOSAL:
As an alternative, you could just modify the "Horizontal Line" tool, to add the ability to extend it for full width of the window, and to make it align with top/bottom of row (instead of current default of middle or row)... that may be a more flexible option and benefit more people, as the line tool generally becomes more useful to everyone...

Window vertical middle split line works great! Thank you for making this! It works super well :-D

You can really see the spreads divergence across the whole yield curve now! Brilliant!

Hello, my Trade DOM Middle Lines on each DOM start out lined up across the screen, but then go out of line. See image. Centering DOMs doesn't always rectify the misalignment, but sometimes it does. But centering DOMs is not always desirable - the purpose of the Middle Line is to observe spread changes, as can be seen in the image above this.
