Drawing Objects Color not sharp

[GeorgeW]

Hello,
I am finding that the color of drawing objects such as Up/Downarrows on NT8 are not as sharp as on NT7. Is there anywhere I can adjust for this in NT8?

Thank you

Hello GeorgeW, and thank you for your question.

I have prepared a video where I demonstrate editing a line's appearance. Please let us know if there are any other ways we can help.

Hello JessicaP,
The problem is with the NT8 color palette looking way off that of NT7 even when using the same color. The problem has been brought up in another thread here:

Thank you George, NinjaTrader 8 does use a slightly different API from NinjaTrader 7, but Brushes and Colors should use the same underlying RBG values. So that I may provide the best help possible, could you provide an instance where two similarly named objects in NT8 and NT7, such as

Brushes.ForestGreen

vs

Colors.ForestGreen

show different shades? You can turn a SolidColorBrush into a color as follows :

(Color) yourColor.GetValue(SolidColorBrush.ColorProperty)

Once you have a Color, you can print out its yourColor.A, yourColor.R, yourColor,G, and yourColor.B for alpha, red, green, and blue color channels, respectively. This will allow you to compare colors directly, rather than by eye.

If we can show that two colors are different in NT7 and NT8, then I will be able to request an NT7 color profile in NT8. If we can't, I will request a skin with the same shade as NT7's skin, so that all the colors look the same via contrast.

Either way I look forward to assisting further.

This issue seems to have been partly resolved for me by using black as the outline color for Draw Objects. Thanks for your input, JessicaP.
