Ticker Properties

Properties

This dialog allows you to customize the look and behavior of your currently-active Ticker frame (or all current, even future frames of this type).

Font



The Font section allows the customization of each element's (that is being displayed in the tape) font size.

Colors

Colors tell what Background the information will be painted on, using the Foreground color; Low and High colors concern the drawing color of the Symbol, Last Price, as well as that of the triangle showing an uptrend or downtrend. If the Net Change is positive (computed as the difference between the Last and the Previous Settlement), then High will be used; otherwise, the rendering will switch to Low color.

In order to change any of the colors mentioned above, press the button from the right side of the color field.

Compact Data View

Compact Data View switches to an abbreviated representation.

Preview


All the changes will be exemplified in the Preview area.
