Semi-transparent windows

e.g. for charts and other windows to be stocked as a alfa-channel adjusted (0-100% transparency) layers. Might be even easier to code on Vista...

Interesting suggestion. Thanks for offering it. On list as a future possible enhancement for consideration.

That would definitely add the edge to the product.

Especially combined with abilities to auto-connect on startup and managing connections from within a custom strategy!

This is an interesting suggestion, but if it is implemented I'd like an option to turn it off. That sort of thing is going to cause problems for some machines, even if there is an option to set opacity to 100%. I can see issues with graphics cards and drivers, general overhead, and running NT in a virtual machine. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hello trader1512,


To adjust the z-order:

1.Select the chart object by left mouse clicking on it
2.Hold down the "Shift" key on your keyboard and roll the mouse scroll wheel to change the z-order of the object. The current position out of the total number of levels in the z-scale will be displayed
