NT818ColorNames is a NinjaTrader 8 AddOn. From NinjaTrader 8.1.8. the color picker shows colors as ARGB hex codes such as #FF006400. This AddOn shows[the original standard color name instead (for example DarkGreen), the way NinjaTrader did before 8.1.8
Instructions for use & setup notes:
1. Import via Tools, Import, NinjaScript Add-On.
2. Wait for the successful import message. Then close and reopen any window containing a color picker, or restart NinjaTrader. The AddOn attaches to windows as they are created, so windows that were already open may not be patched. Keep only one copy of NT818ColorNames.cs in the AddOns folder. If an older copy exists there under another name, remove it first; two copies define the same class and will not compile.
