where are Font color settings for the DOM ? NOT the chart DOM, the separate DOM, specifically the Current Traded Bid Ask volume Font color?
Most menus say "Chart DOM" what DOM is that? the one that's printed on the chart or the separate one?
where are all the global settings for the separate DOM?

Chart DOM or Trade DOM, which is which? I can't get any font to change color on the DOM Columns. DISCREPANCY the menu item says chart DOM but the list of choices say TRADE DOM, which is it and what is it? I want to change Font color on the data DOM , the one with columns ,bid, ask, etc... the DOM that's separate form the chart. I need to change the font color for recent traded Bid ASK columns so I can see it over the back ground bars

The Trading DOM is the separate window that just has the DOM on it. It does not have any bars. The Chart DOM is the DOM that is associated with a chart that also has bars displayed in the graphics area.

First, you need to determine if you want to make the changes to the Trading DOM globally or just for that one chart itself. Refer to the following regarding this:
Graphics Settings: Using Different Color and Graphics Settings for Specific Charts

The above setting is now located in the "Settings" tab for the Graphics Settings windows under the "Chart" menu.

If you want to change the colors globally, then make sure the above setting is set properly, then select "Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Color". Then go to the "Trade DOM" tab and make the changes there.

If you want to change the colors just for that one Trading DOM, then make sure the above setting is set properly, then select "Chart >> Graphics Settings >> Graphics Settings - Colors" and select the "Chart DOM" tab and make your changes there.

These changes for the graphics settings are relatively new, so there may be a few items that we will work out, such as the term "Chart DOM" in that case.
