GM,

Would you please be so kind as to indicate me what settings do I have to modify to set properly the weird colors of my "Chart Trade Window"

A screenshot of it is attached.

Notice the weird background of the "Cancel all" button.
Notice aswell the weird background of the BUY ASK, BUY BID, SELL ASK, SELL BID, buttons.

Sure it is trivial to alter, but I can't find the settings. I'm sorry.

Thank you

Refer to the Graphics Settings starting here:

I did already

but cant see how to fix it

why the button SELL ASK has a different background than the button SELL MKT ?

Aren't both affected by the setting "Chart Trade Window Sell Button Color"?

thank you

Make sure you are making the changes on the correct Graphics Settings page. There are global and chart specific settings. If you select Chart >> Graphics Settings - Chart and the option at the top for Use Global Settings Instead of these Settings is Enabled, then you need to change the colors in the Global Settings (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings - Global), otherwise, you would make the changes in the Graphics Settings - Chart. Refer to the information here:
Graphics Settings: Using Different Color and Graphics Settings for Specific Charts

The difference in the colors for the Sell Ask and Sell MKT is that one button is active and the other is inactive. Refer to the information here:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Display Trade Window Controls (Global Settings >> Chart Trade Settings >> General)
