Release 8.0 for all OnePager editions provides a new feature whereby you can create a curtain on a task bar/milestone symbol by using a single command from the right-click context menu. The new command is shown in the illustration below:

Clicking the Task/Milestone Curtain command creates a basic curtain extending from the selected task bar’s Start Date to Finish Date with the same Color as the selected task bar/milestone symbol but with 80% Transparency as shown below:

Once created, the Task/Milestone Curtain is selectable with a left-click in the area of the curtain as shown here:

When a milestone symbol is selected and a Task/Milestone Curtain is created for the selected milestone symbol, the Chart looks like this:

Since milestone symbols, by definition, have a one day (1) duration, to make the Task/Milestone Curtain visible, the default timespan for a selected milestone symbol’s Task/Milestone Curtain is fourteen (14) days which generally corresponds to the size of most OnePager milestone symbols. For clarity, the Task/Milestone Curtain spans seven (7) days before and after the milestone symbol’s Start Date.

You have the capability to edit the default settings in the Task/Milestone Curtain Properties form where the default settings for a milestone symbol are shown below:

As a further example, suppose the days before start date and days after finish date values for the milestone symbol in the illustration above is reduced to one (1) day each. Doing so creates a Chart that looks like this:
