Pair name backround

Hi

Possible to add this as per example.  Using 8 monitors and it will help immensely, having the pair name faint in the backround.

Thanks

Hi Moneymax

I came up with a solution to this by using this free software that allows you to create a transparent background overlay, that also allows you to interact with the charts under it http://www.digitalartistguild.com/misc/UtilityExplain/UtilityExplain.html

you can open multiple copies, I take it that you know how to create a transparent .png if this is not the case then download GIMP and you'll be able to create one from that (also free)

how

Hi moneymax

What I would do is open the overlay software load up the image, then size it up like below

Then using opacity bar bring it down to its lowist setting, then click on overlay, and the result is below

You can then iteract with the chart, I put in a fib retracement as an example, you can open as many overlays as you want, so you can cover all 8 of your screens, to turn them of I us task manager and end process, don't know any other way but hey it works and thats the main thing.

I also run a web design business for a living, lol

RE: RE: how

no probs, just a quick fix

happy to help.

I did think about using lables but at the moment the text size is fixed to either 14px or 16px and most, I would like to be able to show the bid/ask price at 24px but ctrader won't allow this for now

I've been tring to find a overlay magnifying software that would allow me to size it up in the mean while, but all the ones I've found so far require that the mouse pointer is in the area the window is magnifying.
