Post From: Correct usage of background coloring for Numbers Bars study

The main problem is that when you change from coloring the Text to coloring the Background, you need to change the Up/Down coloring for Ranges 0, 1, and 2 to be the same as your background. Since you left this as white, from how the text is colored, you are seeing all the white items for ratios that are less than 400%.

There is also one other item that you will find. There is a difference in how the Numbers Bars deals with comparison to zero values between the text and the background. So for instance, in one bar we see the following values:

18 x 14
7 x 0
9 x 8

For the text coloring, the Bid of 9 at the lowest level we show will get colored. For the Background coloring, this will not be colored unless you set the Input for "Enable Diagonal Zero Bid/Ask Compares". Refer to the following:

By chance, we are working on bringing these items into alignment and giving additional options for how comparisons with zero are made. But this is a lower priority and is being worked on slowly. We hope in a few weeks we will have it out, but we can not make any promises.
