Default Changing the default color of lines & rays, fib lines, etc

Is there a way to change the default color of a line or ray that is inserted into a chart? Seems like it only comes in blue that is too dark for charts using a black background. ( I would luv to be able to change it to orange, light blue, or white), for example.

For example: in my charts i use a black background but if I put a trendline in the form of a ray or line, it is shown in "blue" color only; it makes it quite difficult to view the blue line/ray in a black background. Im sure many Ninja users incorporate a black background in their charts and would appreciate having the option of changing the default color of rays, lines, fib lines,etc. to make them easier to see.

Hello Joemiami,

Thank you for your post.

You can change the default color for any drawing tool.

Once the drawing tool is placed on your chart, double click it to bring up the properties. You can then change the color and click the "Set Default" button to set this color as the default color. You can do this for every drawing tool.

Default changing default color in fib lines

Is there a way to change default fib color lines? If so, is there a way to set new default ones?

I ask you because I saw that option in lines, arrows, but not in fibonaccis.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the follow up, egalonso. Fib tools have templates. From the Fib properties: Right Click > Manage Templates.
