One thing we looked at a few years ago, was having Sierra Chart draw the main window title bar because the color configuration of that is not controllable in newer versions of Windows. Unfortunately senior engineering, ourselves did not look into this, and we had one of our less senior developers look at this and it was communicated that there was issues and limitations with doing this and we did not investigate it further. The information found was that it is recommended that an application does not control that part of a window and we did not spend further time on it because we were quite busy with other things. We have now looked at this again, and looks reasonable for Sierra Chart to draw the title bar in border and make those colors controllable. So we will work on this. But the appearance is going to be nonstandard. You are not going to see, the typical, Minimize, Maximize, Close and System menu appearance. We will just replace those with letters like the following: Mn Mx Cl Sys These will just look like menu commands. This is one of the main things that users are asking about is the title bar and the borders of windows in Sierra Chart. Sierra Chart can draw all of this and take care of everything other than the menus. Implementing menus ourselves, is possible but it is a lot of work. Windows already does a good job of menus at least the menu functionality that Sierra Chart uses. And to replicate that is a lot of work on our part.
