Graphics Settings: Trade Dom Ask Depth Quantities: How to make the text transparent?

There is no option to make these transparent.

Graphics Settings: Trade Dom Values Scale Text (color of price): How to change the background of just this column?

The price on the Trade DOM uses the "Trade DOM Text Color". There is not a single Background option for just the Price column. The Price column uses the general background of the Trade window (Trade DOM Background Color). But you will not see this unless you deselect the "Enable" option for these two items:
- Trade DOM Ask Background
- Trade DOM Bid Background

You could then change the background for the other columns how you want them to be.

Also, do not forget that if you are making the changes through the "Chart Specific" Graphics Options (Chart >> Graphics Options) that they will not apply unless you disable the option for "Use Global Graphics Settings Instead of These Settings".

Refer to the following for the Trade DOM Graphics Settings:

For the Trade DOM, the default background is to have "Trade DOM Ask Background" and "Trade DOM Bid Background" enabled, which is why you see the two colors in the DOM. You would first need to disable those two options, then you can set the other background colors as you want. Refer to the following:
