Request: Autoscale the Chart DOM and DOM Bid/Ask Volume Bars

Dear Support,

I am working on a chartbook that displays combined market depth levels on the Chart DOM - also the chart uses the same price scale increment what is used for combining depth levels on the DOM.
This chartbook is created for tracking certain activity and _not_ for trade execution, so trade functionality is not a priority.
I display the bid and ask volume bars on the DOM.
The symbol I work with is the NQH20: I combine the depth for each 4 ticks increments and use a scale increment of 1 point as well.

Can you please consider adding/adjusting two settings of how the Chart DOM works:

1. When the depth levels are combined on the DOM, the width of the B/A volume bars still refer to the original tick increment of the symbol and not the combined ticks.
Would it be possible to have the volume bars widths automatically set based on the 'Market Depth Combine Increments in Ticks' setting?

2. I usually use the Right click on Price Scale -> Autoscale the Chart DOM option for scaling the DOM or Chart DOM.
Can you please add the function when this would follow the 'Market Depth Combine Increments in Ticks' setting?
Currently when I use this function, the price scale automatically scales to the original tick increment and not the Combine increment value.

Please see a screenshot below with an example:

Thank you in advance.

In case you need me to test any of the newly implemented or soon-to-be-implemented options and would find my feedback helpful, please let me know. I am more than happy to work on this because I constantly work with DOM chartbooks anyway.

Regarding #1: if it is implemented in a way that it does not override existing settings and the changes are obviously indicated, then it should not be an issue.

Thank you.
