Post From: Number Bars V2 request

Hey guys, I really am liking this profile option so far. Today however I noticed something that I'd like to ask that you consider. Notice in the picture:

In the 1456 x 3907 price, they both have a background shading of approximately equal length, because on the ask and bid side, it is the most dominantly traded price. However, one of the primary benefits of a view like this is that we should be able to see a visual (with the shading) not only of how offer prices compare to each other, but of how a bid compares to an offer. And in this case, the bid and offer for this price, though they are shaded approximately the same, the offer has 2.6x more volume!

Here is another example of a bar that shows a bid value of 6596, an offer value of 3393, which is about half as much, and yet the shading for the two shows only about a 40% larger bar for the bid price.

I understand the reason for how it's calculated--currently one bar on the bid size will fill up the max space on that side, but I'm wondering if you can change the scaling such that the shading is done as a percentage of the largest on BOTH sides, not just the bid side or ask side only.

Thank you for your consideration.
