Change the look and feel of buttons.

[priceisking]

Hello,

is there documentation on how I can change the look and feel of the button on the chart trader? I want to customize it and cant seem to find a thread that discusses this.


thank you.

Hello priceisking,

Thank you for the post.

To edit the look of the various controls you see in the platform would require editing the skin. You can change styles of individual items through programming as well but is not something we document as this is just a C#/WPF concept.

You can see the following guide on how to edit skins: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...hlightsub=skin

I look forward to being of further assistance.

In the chart trader and the Control Panel > Accounts it is hard to read red numbers on a black background.
I have looked at the skins files and don't know where to find this or how to modify it in the XAML. Could you give the change that is needed to modify the background and text color?

Thanks

Hello LCSanders,

I was able to locate the resource for this, it looks like that is controlled with the following line in the Blueprint.xaml file. You can find details of editing skins in the following link:

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/creating_your_own_skin.htm?zoom_highlightsub=skin

Here is the line which controls the color:

<SolidColorBrush  po:Freeze="true"  x:Key="PositionTextBlockLossBrush"    Color="Red" />

You can change Red to any color or hex code: Magenta or #FF0000FF

I look forward to being of further assistance.
