One difference between your Market Depth Historical Graphs is that "theirs" uses a lot more levels, whereas yours is limited. Refer to the following Input:
Market Depth Historical Graph: Maximum Levels to Display (0 for All)

We do not know what you mean about "Transparency". There is no transparency option for the Market Depth Historical Depth study. Having such an option would make the system impossible to use.

The Market Depth Historical Graph is a complex study and requires understanding on how it functions in order to get it setup for what you want. Refer to the general information for this study at the following link:

Typically if the Large Volume Trade Indicator is not showing, it means that you are not storing your data at every tick. You need to have the option for "Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Intraday Data Storage Time Unit" to be "1 Tick". Refer to the following:
Data/Trade Service Settings: Intraday Data Storage Time Unit (Global Settings >> Data/Trade Service Settings >> Common Settings >> Common Settings)

Was your "Intraday Storage Time Unit" set to "1 Tick" previously, or did you have to change it?

If you changed it, did you redownload all the data for the chart by selecting "Edit >> Delete All Data and Download" once for each symbol?

You must have all your color set the same, or your setup is such that all the levels are falling into a single color.

We recommend starting over with a fresh copy of the Market Depth Historical Graph and see what you get with the defaults.

This is a complex study with a lot of intertwining controls, so you really do have to take time to understand what each Input does. Refer to the following:
