Dear Support

Is there a specific location in the help files that details exactly which setting impact each element of the CHART and DOM.
It would be great if there was a short video or images outlining this as its not totally clear and for me and TBH its pretty much best guess, trial and error.
A list of the Fonts and what they actually apply to or better still a Chart and DOM image with pointers would be great. Maybe it already exists?

My immediate issue relates to the DOM

- I can format the font for Price via >> Graphics Setting - Global >> Chart Text (Global)
- But where/which is: Bid Size/Buy Column and Ask Size / Sell Column? Nothing seems to change it.
- I have also added 'Volume by Price Study' which has its own a font size setting 'TextFontSize' but it seems to have no impact.

Apologies for such a basic request but any help appreciated.

Many thanks.

You will find every graphics setting with their descriptions at the following links:
Graphics Settings: Colors and Widths

Graphics Settings: Fonts and Text Appearance

Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Chart Trading and Chart DOM Colors, Line Styles, and Line Widths

The DOM Columns are broken into Chart DOM and Trading DOM sections, depending on which one you are viewing/needing to change. All of the information is in the 3rd link above for the DOM colors.

With regards to the Volume by Price, the Input for "Text Font Size" only affects the text that for the Chart Values that are displayed above/below the profile. This is described here:
Volume By Price Study: Text Font Size

To change the text size of numbers displayed in the bars, refer to the following:
