I unchecked "Use Global Graphics Settings" and can successfully change colors for most items that I want to change. But a few of the items have the "Enable" checkbox grayed out -- I can select a color, but can't check enable to apply the color.

An example is "Trade DOM Recent Ask Volume" which I want to change to blue instead of the default green. Note, I can still click "apply", but the change to blue doesn't take effect.

Nevermind, user confusion. I had current trades in the DOM and was trying to set background on recent trades.

I am trying to change the settings for the horizontal grid in Global Settings, and it seems the ENABLE box is grayed out for this and ALL the options.

The Enable option is only used for certain graphics settings. For example, it is not supported with Horizontal Grid. Instead refer to the instructions here for this:
Chart Menu: Horizontal Grid (Chart menu)

I had already done exactly what those directions say to do and nothing changed.

The most likely reason for what you are seeing is that you have unchecked the option under Chart Settings >> Graphics Settings for Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings and you are trying to make color changes on the Global Settings >> Graphics Settings page. Select Chart Settings >> Graphics Settings and see whether that option is checked or not at the top of that page.

It is also possible that you are doing the oppposite, which is trying to make changes to the Chart Settings >> Graphics Settings without unchecking the option for Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings.

You will find the information for the per Chart settings versus Global settings here: Graphics Settings: Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings
