Dear Support I've noticed a potential issue when setting a "Custom Tool Drawing" in the tool Bars. 1) There is no way to define text color for the button's text which means a Black button cannot be used. In short, the selected text color is not being displayed on to the Button as with the "Custom Text Drawing Tool Settings." 2) When the "Custom Drawing Tool Settings Window" opens to set the configs., it will not close irrespective of selecting: OK, CANCEL, CLOSE. Many thanks.

1. None of the Control Bar options have the ability to change the text color. The text color for control bars is controlled through the Graphics Settings for the following options: - Control Bar: Enabled Button Text - Control Bar: Disabled Button Text Refer to the information here: Graphics Settings: Control Bar: Enabled Button Text 2. This has been fixed in the latest Pre-Release (v 2584). If you do not want to go to the pre-release and want to wait until the release version catches up, then you can close the "Custom Drawing Tool Settings Window" by selecting the OK button on the "Customize Control Bar n" window.

Hi John It doesn't work on the "Custom Drawing Tool Settings" control bar buttons. It does work for the "Custom Text Drawing" Buttons but not on the "Custom Drawing Tool" Buttons. The color of the selected "Drawing tool text" is not carried over to the button even when selecting "use custom text color for button". Many thanks.

Sorry, we forgot about this one exception. For Custom Text Drawing Tools, the option for "Use Custom Text Tool Color for Button Text" will change the color of the text that is used in the Control Bar. But this is only for "Custom Text Drawings". This does not apply to "Custom Drawing Tools" For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing

Thank you John, Is there any way I can set the Button and Button Text Color for the "Custom Drawing Tool Settings" Button? As the Text is pre-set to Black it leaves little if any options when using a Black Scheme to reverse the font color. Many thanks

As we stated above, apart from the one option for the "Custom Text Drawing Tool" buttons, the options to change the color of the Control Bar button text is done by the following Graphics Settings: - Control Bar: Enabled Button Text - Control Bar: Disabled Button Text For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing
