The attached zip file has 2 versions of the same indicator
1) ColorRegions uses regular rendering via NT's BackBrush/BackBrushAll
2) ColorRegionsDX uses SharpDX rendering
its pretty straight forward, you just have to select a time range to color your chart's background, select a color and it's opacity.
For the non-SharpDX version, you can also check/uncheck an option to color either only the price panel's background or for all panels.
It is my understanding that, generally speaking, SharpDX rendering (done right) tends to be more resource friendly than its alternative, but it requires more steps/coding along the way to do the same thing.
I'm probably just a notch above a beginner coder/programmer/developer. I hope these examples help anybody else who is also looking to learn programming for NT8.
