Default Seperating daily/weekly/monthly time-frame

I think its strange that there is no inbuilt ways to separate bars by daily,weekly and monthly time-frame without the use of horizontal lines (time-zones). In other platforms like NT, MC etc its possible to paint pars in different color. I.e on 15m-30m chart, daily price have different color and on 1h chart weekly time has different colors. This is in my opinion a much better way to distinguish data rather than the integrated horizontal lines :=)

aediaz1, thanks for the feedback - however I'm not 100% sure I follow you - you could for example easily differentiate between timeframes on our new NT7 MultiSeries charting as shown in my screenshot.

Not too far away yet it adds a lot of unnecessary cludder to the chart.

Here are 3 examples where daily price-action is separated by different colors, same with weekly (i.e bar color red is 1 week) and 4h chart where it separates monthly (i.e april is red, May is blue etc).

Thanks for the suggestions and ideas, we'll add them to our feedback list - for now you would need to custom code to change the barcolor as needed to achieve a similar effect.
