Hi Kevin,

This is purely a matter of aesthetics.

Due to the descending nature of the plot line for my checking account, (and probably most checking accounts) the label for the 'Minimum Balance' account marker can be obscured by the plot line.

I've attached a screenshot of the issue.

Left aligning the label would resolve the matter in my case but I'm not certain that it would be best in all instances. Thoughts?

Thanks,

-Kevin N.

Hi Kevin,

I think the best thing to do would be to make it a user preference. The user could choose between left or right alignment and we could probably also add a different preference to show or hide the labels altogether when the account markers are visible.

Ideally, it should probably be configurable per account but I'd like to keep it simple to start with.

Hi Kevin,

I was going to suggest making it a user preference but I didn't want to risk turning you off to the whole idea by making it too complex. :)

I'm relieved to see that you are amicable to the idea.

Since the option of making this a user preference is on the table. If it's at all possible, perhaps an 'above' the marker or 'below' the marker option could also be offered.

Thanks again, -Kevin N.

Yep, that sounds like a good idea.

It could be a few weeks before I can get around to fixing it.
