Is it possible to setup the Sim/mode - Live/mode control button to show backgrounds (Sim/Red) - (Live/Green)

Also same use for the Auto Trading Buttons Enable/Green Disable/Red

Ref: Global Settings / Graphics Settings / Colors and Width / Control Bar: Enable-Disable Text/Background
(When using Text/Background either is selected it changes all buttons is it possible to change only selected buttons)

When properties is selected there is an option for one color..... not shore if there is any other options

Ref: Control Bar Commands / Control Bar Button Properties

You can certainly change the background color of individual Control Bar buttons:
Control Bar: Control Bar Button Properties

You can also use this ACSIL function to control it programmatically:
sc.SetCustomStudyControlBarButtonColor

So we understand this correctly One Control Button can be colored Enabled(Red) Disabled(Green)

Control Bar: button default background is selected it colors all buttons backgrounds
Properties only has one option for colors

Maybe just over looking something just not sure what

Thank You For Your Help

You can have different background colors if you program it yourself using ACSIL and using the above-referenced function.

Otherwise, there is no option through the user interface to setup different colors for active versus inactive control bar buttons.
