Uneven Current Trade Bid/Ask Volume Bars

I'm curious why the current trade ask volume bars are shorter than the bid ask volume bars? For example, there are several where the ask volume is greater than the bid but the ask volume bar is shorter.

Also, is there a way to change the color of the text in the current trade bid/ask volume bars? I can figure out how to change the background and bar color but not the text.

They are determined individually based on the largest value in the Bid and Ask. In order to have the bars in both columns relative to the single largest value, set the option for "Trade >> Chart DOM Settings >> Recent/Current Volume Bars Length Relative to Bid and Ask" to "Yes". Refer to the following:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Recent/Current Volume Bars Length Relative to Bid and Ask (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings)

Thanks John, much appreciated. And any idea on how to change the font color for the text in those volume bars? Can't find it i the Graphics Settings - Chart but could be missing it.

Sorry - The text for the Current Traded columns is controlled by the Graphics Settings named the following:
- Chart DOM Recent Bid Volume
- Chart DOM Recent Ask Volume
- Chart DOM Current Traded Bid Volume
- Chart DOM Current Traded Ask Volume

Note that there are the same items that start with "Trade DOM..." if you are making the change for a Trade DOM.
