"Copy to Global" doesn't copy everything?

Hello SC team. I have looked through the documentation and support threads without getting wiser. I have spent some time customizing a Trade DOMs graphics settings (chart specific graphics, not global). Now I would like to copy these changes I have made, to the Global Graphics settings. I was under the impression that the button "Copy to Global" would take the changes I have made, and overwrite the Global Settings. But, only some of the settings get copied. For example the DOM background is changed, but not the Recent Bid/Ask or buy/sell column backgrounds. The documentation (Graphics Settings: Copy to Global (Chart >> Graphics Settings - Chart)) says "This does not affect any of the Saved Global Graphics settings, only the active settings." This doesn't make sense to me. Could you please clarify what this means? Thank you for your time. |

This means that when you copy from the Chart specific graphics settings to the Global graphics settings, you are only overwriting the current displayed settings. It is not changing any of the Saved settings from the pulldown at the top of the window. We will check on those items not being copied.

First image is DOM with chart-specific graphics settings. Next I "Copy To Global" Then I would think that if I select "Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings", then the result would look identical. It is not. See second image. |
