Lack of data: bid vol ask vol data

Maybe I'm missing something, but I've checked and rechecked several times: I'm not getting the Bid vol x Ask vol function data in the Numbers Bars study. The volume column appears, as does the Bid Ask difference, but I'm not getting the split data (you can see the cursor moving between the levels in a ghostly way). I changed all the settings, opened new charts, updated the software version but there was nothing to do. Also, a general coloring appeared on the last bars, a sort of halo, which I don't understand. I'm attaching a screenshot. Thanx in advance for you reply.

To get the Bid data and Ask data in the same column, you need to set the "Numbers Bars Text" to "Bid Vol x Ask Vol". Refer to the following:
Numbers Bars: Numbers Bars Text Types

If you have a problem when you do this, what exactly is occurring?

We are not sure what you are referring to in terms of the last bars. It looks like you have the "Market Depth Historical Graph" on your chart and you are seeing faint colors from that study.

Thank you very much for the answer. In fact the solution was simple but not so simple to rely only on the "text" box. While searching for the imbalance parameters I accidentally changed the "bid/ask volume text threshold" function, as shown in the attached screenshot, thus causing the values to disappear! Ps. Thanks for reporting the presence of the active DOM, because I expected to find it in the usual form of lines on the graph instead.
