Time & Quotes

Color Schemes Tab

Features in the "Color Schemes" tab in Neovest's "Time and Quotes Preferences" box let you select a different color scheme (e.g., "Black," "Green," "Navy," etc.), edit a color scheme, and create a new color scheme for a Neovest Time and Quotes window.

Neovest also lets you change via the "Color Schemes" tab the default colors that correspond to the three possible directions of a trade and the default colors that have been assigned to bid and ask quotes in a Time and Quotes window. Neovest provides this functionality so that you may quickly distinguish by color in a Time and Quotes window if a particular trade is an up trade, down trade, same trade, and if the latest quote is a bid or ask.

The following instructions explain how you may select a different color scheme in the "Color Schemes" tab for a Neovest Time and Quotes window:

With a Time and Quotes window open on your screen, click the gear icon, located on the far-right of the toolbar.

Click the "Preferences" icon on the drop-down menu that appears.

Once the "Time and Quotes Preferences" box appears, select the "Color Schemes" tab.

Select the "Use This Color Scheme" toggle button.

Note: For more information regarding the "Use Application Theme Color Scheme" toggle button, refer to the "Color Scheme Tab" section of the "Menu" chapter in Neovest's Help documentation.

In addition, you may change the default colors that have been assigned to "Bid" and "Ask" quotes.

Note (2): Once you click on a colored square to the right of a component, the "Choose a Color" box will appear. The "Choose a Color" box contains five tabs: "Swatches," "HSV," "HSL," "RGB," and "CMYK."

The "HSV," "HSL," "RGB," and "CMYK" tabs let you edit the color of the selected swatch. If at any time you do not like the color of the swatch you selected or you do not like the color changes you have made to the swatch itself, click Reset to return to the existing component color of the selected color scheme. Once you have selected a replacement color, click OK.
