No Values using Chart Values Tool

Hi, I have installed the currect version of Sierra Chart and now when I'm using Chart Values Tool I see black rectangle instead of value of price and time.
I probably need to change the value display color or background somewhere in the settings but I don't know where, please help.
I don't understand why in the new version the default value and background are the same color, so I can't see the value.
I consider this a defect and propose to change it in the next update.
Best regards
Mateusz Prost

There is a new setting for the color of the text in the Price and Time boxes. It is set to black by default, so you will need to change the color. Refer to the following:

It worked, thank you. But still, I don't know who came up with the idea that by default, the background color and font color should be the same... it wasn't like that in earlier versions. The person who came up with that idea should be fired.

The default colors are correct and not as you say. The problem is you have changed one of them from the default.

You can tell by installing Sierra Chart into a new folder.

The request for the ability to set the text color came from a user, not us:
The person who came up with that idea should be fired.

We could find out who. So we added the ability to set the text color of the price and time boxes rather than making them automatic. The default background color and foreground color, do contrast with each other. As we said you can verify this.:
