Price Study Background Color Obscures Trendlines and Gridlines

[Lancer]

Price study EFS formulas that change background color also block out trendlines and gridlines in areas where the color is changed from the normal chart background. I tried changing the order of application (EFS first, then trendlines), but no luck. It's not a color choice issue because the gridlines and trendlines would be visible on the selected color. Is there anything that can be done to keep trendlines and gridlines visible during those periods when a formula changes the price studies pane background color?

They also override any text that you place on a chart.

They also obscure ANY shape (arrows, etc) drawn.

While gridlines are indeed blocked out that is not the case with trendlines or text placed on a chart.
Right click the chart, select Properties and put a check in "Draw Lines On Top of Price"

You need to add a Shape.ONTOP flag for example
drawShapeRelative(0, low(), Shape.CIRCLE, "", Color.red, Shape.LEFT|Shape.ONTOP);
The same applies if you are using drawImage, drawText, etc.
