Default colour scheme

OK I realise this is not going to be everyones cup of tea but one of the main problems I have with TT is adjusting from BA. I am just too comfortable with BD and any layout difference just thow me so I sat down and played with all the settings/colours and produced this. If anone wants the settings I am happy to post them.

I am hoping it will mean I can adjust from one to the othe pretty easily. As you can see there's not much between them. WOuld be nice f The Geek sorted us with the option of changing te P&L txt column and adding a spacer between the back and lay columns and the greening columns and also being able to change the colour of the bet column to stay as white!

Weird bloke you are. The spaces between the columns just do my eyes in.

Doing the P&L back colour will be a simple enough job, so you can have that in soon. I looked at the spacing the other night & it was too much effort for too little reward, so it's been rejected.

ok mate thats fair do's!!

I think I might have missed the order column, can I have that in too so I can set it not to go pin when I put an order in??

I know it seems wierd but I am so comfotable with BD if I can configure it to look the same I can have the toys functionality and the look I am comfortable with. I'm not the only one :-(

Can you do:

~ P&L Column Background Colour & Text
~ Amount Traded Column Background & Text
~ Bet Column so when you have a bet in it stays white
~ The Price Column Header Text Colour


Hopefully all along the same lines so won't be too big a job

Using Bet Devil for the charting and TT for everything else:

(The colours don't look right for some reason but they are spot on in reality)

Typical BetDevil. Even when the P&L is zero, it's bloddy green! Bet you £1 you won't see Peewee sticking this customisation layout on his blog.

Still makes me laugh as with all the customisation on TT you 2 want to make it that tired & old looking. Still each to his own I suppose.

When you have been looking at the same thing for a few years everyday it can feel very weird using something you aren't used to. But with the colour customisation you can make it look near identical in terms of looks but have a lot more functionality

No worries on these two - after using it today I actually prefer it changing colour when I place an order as it makes the orders stand out and you therefore don't miss them by mistake.

Likewise the Traded Column is okay as it is but would be good if you can do the others you said yes to.

See release notes for Patch 2. { Price header text was a bug & should now be fixed.}

The rest you will just have to suffer for now.

P & L text I didn't do, as the colour is different depending on +/-.
Traded I did, but it will only affect the empty cells, as the others are deliberatly shaded based on ammount.


When you 2 ladies have these couple sorted, send me the schems folder & I will ship it with future releases.
