Scott and Leroy: Thanks very much for your replies. As far as myTrack goes, I actually do already know about the "Settings" options and the customizable columns. The column-options are in fact very flexible (the only thing lacking that I'd like is one showing the "number of trades" -- but very few services offer that). My big problem (and it's a very individual one, I realize) is that the color-display options just aren't flexible enough for my needs. Most specifically, I have a problem with the fact that the color of the text in the "Symbols" column can't be changed (myTrack has confirmed that to me in writing -- unless you've found a workaround). What I actually want/need to do (because of my eyes) is have a DARK background across the monitor (black or dark blue) with all the numbers showing-up in various LIGHT colors. But that's not possible, because it results in the symbol-text being virtually invisible (because THAT text is the only column that CAN'T be made to appear in light colors). I'm still experimenting with various combinations, but so far, haven't found one that really provides the contrast and clarity that I find comfortable. And BTW, I'm already using an 800x600 display (always have). About the only way I can make the myTrack display easily readable is to use fonts so large that it greatly reduces the number of of rows/columns that can be on-screen at one time -- and having to s keep scrolling up-and-down and side-to-side isn't terribly practical. "A-T Attitude" customizable-monitor is GREAT, because it DOES let me do a complete light-on-black display. But unfortunately, that customizable display is only available with their highest-priced package. Hence, my search for a similar alternative. I'll keep looking, AND keep trying to find an acceptable display within myTrack. But in any case, thanks again for your input. Take Care, Vagabond
