-Added time offset (in minutes, 5minute steps) for non-USA based Indices traders. Default is zero, but for example you might set each of the two offsets to '-300' for a London based index.
-Make sure offset minutes are divisible into the chart's timeframe or it will not plot.

-Changed function of 'extend right': toggling this on now brings all displayed boxes & midlines up to the last bar index
-Added box/midline text showing the day the gap was 'formed' (i.e '>>Thurs' is the gap between Weds and Thursday Regular trading hours) and the price value of the midline.
-All boxes & lines text can be independently toggled on/off.
Example: 5min ES1! chart on electronic trading hours, plotting 5 historical HiLo Gap boxes with midlines; all extended to the right; all text showing. Price reacting off the previous Thursday Gap midline:
