Is there a way to change the color of the general purpose column without changing the general color of DOM (basically want the background color of general purpose column different than general DOM color)? Also, cannot finure this one out. For DOM Colums: Cumulative last size. I have it set up for the background to turn green on a buy and red on a sell. I see in graphic settings how to change these and the fonts in each. However I cannot figure out how to change the background of the box color when a trade occurs 2 or more times on the same price. For example, a sell goes through, red box , another contract trades at that price the box turns dark grey (which is the same color as general DOM color I have set) . I would really like to change that dark gray color. Seems like that should be done under graphic settings: Cumulative Last Size Bid Trade Same Price and Side Background Coloring and Cumulative Last Size Ask Trade Same Price and Side Background Coloring. But when I try that option the background does not change. Thanks |

There is not a way to control the color of the background for the "General Purpose" columns. We have noted this as a Feature Request. We can not say when we would get to any particular request. I cannot figure out how to change the background of the box color when a trade occurs 2 or more times on the same price
You are changing the correct colors for what you want (i.e. Cumulative Last Size Bid/Ask Trade Same Price and Side Background Coloring). One thing to note is that in order to have those colors apply, you need to have the "Enable" option enabled for those items. It sounds like you may have the "Enable" option enabled, in which case the issue would be that you are trying to make the change in the wrong graphics settings. Keep in mind that there are "Global" graphics setting and "Chart" graphics settings.

Do you mean the General Purpose columns to be used by ACSIL? We will add up to 10 of those. And allow the background color to be customized individually for each of them.

Yes ACSIL columns, I have been working a study that uses both GP1 and GP2. It would help if at least 1 or perhaps 2 more GP columns were accessible. Any idea when this addition will be available?
