Ticker Tape

Color Schemes Tab

Features in the "Color Schemes" tab in Neovest's "Ticker Tape 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 the active ticker tape in a Neovest Ticker Tape window.

Note: Instructions in this "Color Schemes Tab" section refer repeatedly to the "active ticker tape" in a Neovest Ticker Tape window. If you have added more than one ticker tape to a Ticker Tape window, you may make one of the ticker tapes active by moving your cursor to the upper-left corner of the ticker tape and clicking on the down arrow that appears.

The following instructions explain how you may select a different color scheme in the "Color Schemes" tab for the active ticker tape in a Neovest Ticker Tape window:

With a Ticker Tape 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 "Ticker Tape Preferences" Box appears, select the "Color Schemes" tab.

Select the "Use This Color Scheme" toggle button.
