Is it possible to add to Numbers Bars Text Types - AskVol/BidVol Diagonal Difference/Bid Side the according Backgound Coloring ? I tried all of the available Methodes, but none seems to work correctly for me. The same applies for the newly added AskVol/BidVol Diagonal Difference/Ask Side or Dominant Side.

How exactly are you wanting to color those numbers? What do you want to see from the coloring?

See attached file, which is based on dominant diagonal difference-actual. The colors +- and numbers+- do not match, but this would be the coloring method i would like to see.

What numbers are you displaying in first column (the column to the left)?

Based on AskVol/BidVol Diagonal Difference/Bid Side, the column I would like to have the background colored from min to max with actual numbers based on diagonal delta bid side.

We just want to make sure you understand what you are seeing and what coloring you are wanting.

With the Text set to "Ask Vol Bid Vol Diff Diagonal Bid Side" you are only see the Bid side of the Diagonal Differences. This is not the dominant side, it is just the one side of things.

And you are correct, we do not have a coloring option that will color just those values based on their relative size. But do you really want that? And exactly how would you want the data colored in this case, would positive values be different from negative values (keep in mind positive values mean that the Bid is not dominant, but negative values do not necessarily mean that the bid is dominant (the diagonal Ask could still be larger at that level))? Or would you just order the data from negative to positive (or vice versa)? Or something else?

With diagonal delta the dominant side makes no sense to me. "Negative values do not necessarily mean that the bid is dominant, the diagonal Ask could still be larger at that level" that is the reason dominant side makes no sense to me. Specially at the POC you get misleading readings, because usally both sides at this level are dominant. See attached file, the bid side 156 to ask side 297 is ignorde but it is a positive delta of 141. When price is moving fast you would miss this information. I am just looking for a the + or - value of the diagonal delta a each level from the bid side.

That does not help, because I know this and the second column in my screenshot is exactly what is explaind. I just want to have the same as for the AskVol/BidVol Difference Text Typ with based on AskVol/BidVol Difference-Actual coloring as a diagonal version maybe with background Type as "Right Aligned Ask/Bid diagonal Difference Profil".
