If multiple charts are displayed on the same screen, a selection border will be drawn around the currently selected chart. For example, as shown in the image below, a blue selection border is drawn around the lower chart area, indicating it is the currently active chart.

The color of the selection border depends on the selected theme:

  • Dark Theme: The selection border will appear white.
