From the Help file (Yeah. I read it)

>>The Ichimoku Kinko Hyo indicator is composed of the following five plots, in
addition to the closing prices.

Tenkan-sen. The standard line. [big snip]
Kijun-sen. The turning line. [big snip]
Senkou Span A. The first span. [big snip]
Senkou Span B. The second span. [big snip]
Chikou Span. The delayed line. [big snip] <<

Part of this indicator is the "cloud" - the area between SpanA and SpanB.

It'sidentified by a series of vertical lines with 2 colors one for up trend one for down.

When I go to the Properties dialog, I'm given the ability to change the color scheme and style for each component of the multipart indicator. I make each component invisible by changing it's color to the background color. (I used black as the background color. )You can also make it invisible by setting the Style to Invisible.

All the component lines disappear with the exception of a histogramlike plot which were/are the lines identifying the space bewteen the 2 spans - the cloud. 

The lines don't seem to react to a mouse over. They don't exist independently when I use tab
to go through the plots on the chart.

How are those lines being plotted?  Why don't they disappear? I would like to use the technique in other indicators.

TIA
