background colorchanges

[simpletrades]

Is there a line of code to add to the Ninja default DM Indicator that will color the background Wheat colored when ADX<=25 ?
Or is it a lot more complex than that?
I understand I need to make a copy first in order to accept changes to the script.

simpletrades,

To change the background color you can use BackColor = Color.Yellow for instance.

Not as easy as I thought.

I tried with ADX
if (ADX<25) BackColor = Color.Wheat ;
and got:
Operator> cannot be applied to operands of type 'method group' and 'int'

Then I tried with MACD> Avg (the Diff>)

if (Diff>0) BackColor = Color.Wheat ;
and got
Operator> cannot be applied to operands of type NinjaTrader.Data.DataSeries and int

simpletrades, please try for example this the for MACD histogram -

 
if (MACD(12, 26, 9).Diff[0] > 0)
BackColor = Color.Blue;

Thanks, MACD does it and I tried adapting to the ADX from the DM indicator

if (ADX(14)[0] > 25)
BackColor = Color.Blue;

and it works. Thanks.

With a normal black background and red green yellow for ADX and DMI, its a challenge finding a decent new background and testing and then retesting a better combination etc..
How can I add a color input for the recolor if ADX>25 so I can keep trying colors from the indicator screen and not the coded script and then needing to recompile over and over?
