Hi guys, In some cases I want to have a different background color for the regions below the chart and I can't find a feature in the platform that allows that. I use a workaround via "Color background based on alert" study and somehow I manage to get what I want, but I find it quite annoying to do this all the time. It should be a simple setting in "Chart graphic settings", but instead I have to add additional studies. It is not at all user-friendly. The same request also for setting different gridlines and borderlines for the regions below the chart. I have not yet found a workaround for these. If there is a solution, please share it. Thanks, |

I believe the official statement is there is only one background color for the entire chart, not per region. But you could use ACSIL - drawing tool. DRAWING_RECTANGLE_EXT_HIGHLIGHT: Draws a rectangle highlight drawing that extends either right or left. Then extend it in both directions. I have not done this, but if you made the rectangle the full height of the region and adjusted the transparency levels, it should work. Hope this helps JohnR |

You can use the Color Background Based on Alert Condition and set the Alert to the following: =1 This way the alert is always true. Then just set this study to the region for which you want the specific background and set the Subgraph color to be what you want for the background.
