Professional Theme System

Centralized Color Management

BananaEA v4.4.6 includes GUIThemeManager for centralized theme control.

Features:

• ✅ Centralized color management across all UI elements

• ✅ Consistent appearance between dashboard, panels, buttons

• ✅ Easy theme switching without individual parameter changes

Current implementation:

The theme system is automatic - it works behind the scenes to:

• Coordinate panel colors with button colors

• Match text colors for optimal contrast

• Adapt watermark visibility to chart background

• Ensure professional appearance

Customization:

While the theme system provides defaults, you can still override individual elements:

• Panel background colors

• Button colors

• Text colors

• Watermark display mode

Benefits:

🎨 Professional appearance out of the box ⚙️ Consistent styling across all UI elements 🔄 Easy theme coordination when customizing ✨ Optimized contrast for all lighting conditions

💡 Note: Future versions may include user-selectable themes (dark/light/custom).

Troubleshooting

Issue: Panels Overlap Chart Elements

Solutions:

1. Adjust offsets:

   • Increase TradeInfoXOffset (move panels right/left)

   • Increase TradeInfoYOffset (move panels down/up)

2. Reduce panel size:

   • Decrease TradePanel_Width (narrower)

   • Decrease TradePanel_Height (shorter)

3. Increase transparency:

   • Set TradeInfoTransparency = 100 (see through panels)

Issue: Text Too Small/Hard to Read

Solutions:

1. Increase font size:

   • Set TradeInfoFontSize = 11 or 12

2. Increase panel height:

   • Set TradePanel_Height = 150 (more vertical space)

3. Reduce transparency:

   • Set TradeInfoTransparency = 0 (solid background)

Issue: Panels Stacked Too Close

Solutions:

1. Increase spacing:

   • Set TradePanel_Spacing = 70 or higher

2. Reduce panel height:

   • Set TradePanel_Height = 110 (shorter panels)

Issue: Can't See Watermark

Solutions:

1. Change color mode:

   • Dark chart: Set WatermarkColorMode = 1 (light colors)

   • Light chart: Set WatermarkColorMode = 2 (dark colors)

2. Auto mode may adapt:

   • Try WatermarkColorMode = 0 (auto-detect)
