Drawing properties panel, advanced settings and style presets
Selecting a drawing opens a compact floating toolbar with lock, delete, the drawing's quick style fields, an Advanced settings modal and a preset menu. The toolbar can be dragged anywhere and remembers its position.

What it does
The properties panel is a small dialog titled Drawing properties. It places itself outside the selected drawing's footprint so the handles stay reachable, at least 8 px from the window edges. A six-dot grip on its left edge is the drag handle: drag it and the panel stays where you leave it, in every later selection, as a proportion of the window size. Double-clicking the grip brings the panel back next to the drawing.
The body starts with two icon buttons — Lock (Lock in place — clicks inside pan the chart) and Delete (Delete this drawing (Delete key does the same)) — followed by the fields of the selected kind, then the Advanced settings button and the preset menu.

How to use it
- Click a drawing. Change Color with the swatch, Width with the 1 / 1.5 / 2 / 3 px menu, Opacity with the percentage menu and the line style with — Solid, - - Dash or ··· Dot. Every change is applied immediately and is one undo step.
- Open Advanced settings (gear icon) for the full form of the same properties, including the ones the quick bar leaves out (extend left and right, text background, band multipliers).
- Save the current style: open the preset menu (Save / apply style preset), type a name in Save current style as… and confirm. An empty name is saved as Untitled. Presets are listed newest first for the same kind of drawing; click one to apply it, or use Delete preset.
- Lock a drawing you do not want to move by accident; it stays selectable and editable through the panel.
Limits and pitfalls
- A preset stores only style: colour, width, line style for lines; border colour, border width, style and fill colour for rectangles; colour, background, font size, bold and italic for text. It never stores prices, times or content.
- Presets are kept in the browser storage of the app under senzoukria.drawingpresets.v1; they are not synchronised between machines.
- The pinned position is saved in localStorage as proportions of the window, so it stays inside the window after a resize, but it is shared by every drawing kind.
- For an alert line, the colour field is available but the renderer always paints the line amber and dashed; the panel shows the note Beeps on cross.

Frequently asked questions
- The panel opened far from my drawing. How do I bring it back?
- The panel has been pinned by a previous drag. Double-click the six-dot grip: the saved placement is cleared and the panel returns next to the selected drawing.
- Can I apply a rectangle preset to a trend line?
- No. Presets are filtered by kind: only presets saved from the same kind of drawing are listed in the menu, and only lines, rays, trend lines, rulers, rectangles and text have presets at all.
- Why is there no Advanced settings button on a Long / Short drawing?
- Trade drawings take their colours from the chart palette. The panel exposes Entry, Stop, Target, Fill and the R:R readout only.
