Drawing Presets

Save your drawing styles as named presets that sync across devices — Fibonacci level sets, line styles, and defaults for every new drawing.

Drawing presets let you save a drawing's full configuration under a name and reuse it anywhere. Set up your Fibonacci levels once — ratios, colors, fills, line style, extensions — save it as a preset, and every device signed into your Skylit account can apply it with one click.

Presets exist for two families of tools:

FibonacciFib retracementLevel ratios, per-level colors and visibility, fills and fill opacity, line width and style, extensions, trend line, label options, log scale, reverse
Line styleTrendline, rectangle, arrow, horizontal line, horizontal ray, vertical line, brushColor, line width, line style, opacity

Where to find presets

Select any drawing on the chart and its style toolbar appears.

  • Fibonacci drawing selected — the Fibonacci button on the toolbar shows the active preset's name next to the icon. Click it to open the Fibonacci panel; the preset controls sit at the top, above the level editor.
  • Line-style drawing selected — the Line style button works the same way: it carries the active preset's name and opens a compact preset panel.

The preset controls

ControlWhat it does
Preset dropdownApplies the chosen preset to the selected drawing and makes it your active preset. Choose Built-in defaults to reset the drawing to the stock configuration.
Save as…Saves the selected drawing's current configuration as a new named preset and makes it active.
UpdateOverwrites the active preset with the drawing's current configuration. Enabled only when the drawing actually differs from the preset.
StarMarks the preset as the default for all new drawings — it takes priority over the active selection. Click again to unstar.
DeleteRemoves the preset from your account.

The unsaved-changes dot

When your selected drawing drifts from its preset — a level ratio edited, a different line width, an extension toggled — a dot appears next to the preset name on the toolbar button, and Update lights up in the panel.

  • Dot visible — the drawing no longer matches the preset. Click Update to save the changes into the preset, or re-apply the preset from the dropdown to discard them.
  • No dot, Update disabled — the drawing matches the preset exactly. Nothing to save.

Edits never save into a preset automatically. Changing a drawing changes that drawing only — other drawings using the same preset keep their look, and the preset itself changes only when you click Update.

Defaults for new drawings

Every new drawing starts from the first match in this order:

  1. Starred preset — the preset you've marked with the Star control. It's your house-style default and always wins, so new drawings come out styled no matter what's selected in the dropdown.
  2. Active preset — whatever is currently selected in the preset dropdown, used only when no preset is starred.
  3. Built-in defaults — the stock configuration.

Star the preset you want as your house style and every new Fibonacci or line drawing comes out styled without any setup. The star stays in charge until you unstar it or delete the preset — selecting a different preset (or Built-in defaults) restyles the drawing you have selected, but doesn't change what new drawings start from.

Applying a preset

Applying a preset makes the selected drawing match it exactly — every setting the preset covers is restored, including settings you changed since. Right after applying, the drawing is in sync with the preset and Update is disabled.

A note on Fibonacci colors

Fibonacci drawings color each level individually — those per-level colors live in the preset. The general drawing color swatch does not apply to Fibonacci drawings, which is why the color picker is not shown on the toolbar while a Fibonacci drawing is selected. For line-style presets, color is part of the preset.

Sync and limits

  • Presets sync across all devices signed into the same Skylit account. A preset saved on desktop is available on mobile immediately.
  • If the same account edits presets on two devices at once, the most recent save wins.
  • Accounts can store up to 50 presets across both preset types.
