In the format window, i have enable status line checked, and i went to the status line colors, and made each entry black, that is normal, positive values, negative values, unchanged values. However, the Instrument Text Color, Description Text Coilor, and Resultion Text color is still Green...

Please post a screen shot and point out to which text you would like to change.

Which version of MultiCharts you are using?

I found out how to do it,

Yo change the Text Color, for those items, I have to go to the style tab, and change the color for Open, High/Low and Close to change the text color of Instrument, Description, Resolution on the chart.

It's kind of tricky to find this and it's not very clear why, but actually, it's the "Wick" setting on candlestick bars that controls the colors of the name of the instrument, the timeframe and the data source.

Getting reacquainted with MC. Could this really be? that you have to change the color of the neutral bar to see the instrument on the status line? WTH?

It makes the charts look wonky.

Doesn't seem right to me......

Any official MC people here to address this?

Thanks.
