Re: Customising Timescale labels

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi Tommo,

No, I know of no way to change the labelling. However, If you select one of
the day or nigh calendar to show in nonworking time as I suggested, the
Gantt will be shaded to show that shift's nonworking time. That's the best
I can offer.
