More colours / more ways to differentiate between watchlists

the watchlist colour feature is useful but i noticed a lot of bugs when using the same colours for more than one watchlist. Usually issues with deleting one of the watchlists, meaning you cannot delete one without deleting the other as altrady recognises them as one and the same thing due to them sharing the same thumbnail colour. I think it would be better if altrady could either add more colours via a color picker or to use a completely different way to differentiate between watchlists which offers way more variety. i have around 20 watchlists but feel the altrady platform only works well with 10 maximum for example.

I'm okay with the available colors (though more is always welcome ;-)), my main problem with them are:

1.) When Right-Click on a Tab, both the Long and the Short Watchlist names are shown! This wastes vertical space and is very annoying: You have to scroll down to watchlist at the bottom of the menue!

2.) You can change the Order of Watchlists by dragging them up or down in the markets->settings window. But this order differs from the order of how the colors show up at the top of the tabs -> quite confusing IMO.

The bug with using the same colour more than once for a watchlist has been fixed.
We are looking at adding a colour picker or another way to increase the options for denoting watchlists.

Yes, I agree, unfortunately there are some bugs/problems in watchlist (some of which become only obvious when using the watchlist feature a lot). Though for me PERSONALLY this is not a huge problem right now.

E.g. when giving more than one color to a specific ticker, it resulted in all sorts of strange behaviour (so I stopped doing this).

One more note: If you change the sort order, it is not reflected when showoing watchlist over the context menue, which can become very confusing.

Also it's not necessary (only creates visual overload) to show both
- watchlist name
- watchlist description
in the context menue.

Yes I was just about to make a request on this! More colours for watchlists are needed please, some distinguishing simple black geometrical shapes like stripes/dots for the flags could work also.

Indeed there are some bugs with the watchlists too, for me when I add a watchlist without colour altrady will always generate an extra watchlist with colour which cannot be deleted. Now if I add a market to this watchlist, it will always add the unwarranted watchlist too.

agree on this, using shapes / patterns to better distinguish between lists. i use them a lot and would use them a lot more if they functioned better
