Chart settings

Candle colors, the legend, price lines and the countdown, the canvas, and chart trading — the five tabs of the settings dialog.

Click ⚙ in the chart toolbar. Every change previews on the chart while the dialog is open; Ok keeps it, Cancel puts it back. Settings belong to that chart window.
