better graphic representation of Profit / Loss column in Chart DOM

Currently when a Profit/Loss column is added to Chart or Trade DOM, a vertical stack of "+" and "-" numbers in ticks helps to track a position's profit or loss. Is there a way to create a more graphic version of this in the text value column? For instance, the entry price of the text value column is currently made green highlight if in profit, and red highlight if in loss. What if every value in the text price column were to turn green as the position proceeded into profits, filling all the values between entry and last trade into a continuous green column, and vice-a-versa, in red, for a losing position. Also make the last trade value either green or red highlight too, completing the graphic as one complete column of either red or green, depending on the position status, until target or stp-out. (This is not a new idea. It is used in ButtonTrader and makes it much easier to visually follow position progress.) Perhaps someone has already programmed this independently?

This does look like a good idea and we will implement it. It should be a relatively easy change.
