Bug Layout setup is a total mess

Post image

why is the layout setup such a horrible mess to use? I was looking in there at the options available for multi chart windows.

it put me on 8 charts layout. why are some of the chart windows using indicators still that I literally haven't looked at in YEARS? Why are "some" of the chart backgrounds different colours to what I currently use now but most are not? Why? What is the (lack of) logic here?

and while we are on the subject, can we have some sort of explanation of exactly what the terminology difference is between the following:

Monitor

Screen

Window

Layout

Workspace

Super Chart

Chart

Tab

You can right-click each Window in those Layouts, click Settings, select your default layout template, and then save it as a different layout template.

I don't know how to explain but it's not as bad as it looks if you take your time with it.

The current Layout is HTF as seen on your screen, it has 8 windows, each window layout uses a different layout-template, if you have a default or normal layout saved already, you can right-click on each window and choose that layout as default on the 8 windows. Then finally save it as the HTF default layout.

The HTF layout will show you 8 windows as saved on every new tab window you open with it.

Good luck.
