How do I change the text highlight color on the chart tab? I can change the selected tab's color, border, and text, but the color behind the text remains blue. Is it highlighted blue in another setting? It should show black, as that is the color I set the selected tab to.

We are not able to reproduce this. The setting for the background sets the background everywhere except for the text itself. We do not know why you would have that extra background occurring for that tab. Please get us the Chartbook that shows that issue along with the "Sierra4.config" file for your installation. The "Sierra4.config" is located in the main Sierra Chart installation folder and has the global settings for your system, including the graphics settings which we want to look at in particular.

If I remove the linking and set it to None, they revert to the color without the Blue Highlighting.

You have the option for "Global Settings >> General Settings >> Chart >> Color Chart Tabs with Chart Link Number Color" set to "Yes". Therefore the tab is being colored the blue color the same as the other tabs. The black you are seeing around the edge is due to the color setting for "Chart Selected Tab Border Color". If you do not want to see that border, then set it to be the same color as the link number that you are using for those charts. Although the border does give you a way to know which chart is the active chart in this case.
