I can give some potential coders clues how to do it possibly using these indicators:

Attach your indicator, so others can learn from it.

I wanted background because as you can see in 1st post, the small instrument name behind the big font instrument name was irritating. Now problem solved. You need to put both indicators to the MQL4/indicators and template in template folder. And apply template.

Had a little spare time so wrote a new indicator using the new MT4 code, it is compiled on build 625, it has automatic background color code which changes the color to the same as the chart background color.

Hi cja.

I applied the new instrument with background.ex4 but when i change time frame, it disappears and re appears. Actually I am happy with this new version but if possible can you please fix this ? And also set up and down value -12 by default because we need to hide the small instrument name behind this Instrument name with background.

Thanks.

That slight delay between changing time frames is simply the OnTimer() function refreshing the indicator, however if waiting for 1 second for the refresh is an issue I have altered the code so that it now remains on the chart the whole time and I have also reset the shift as you requested.
