Hello support. Is it possible to change compact tool values window background and text color independently from chart global settings? Thanks.

Yes this can be done by changing the Graphics Settings for an individual chart. This is documented here:

Specifically you will want to change the Chart Text and Background colors.

The thing is that i don't want to change background color of the chart, i just want to change background color of the compact tool values window itself. I suppose there is no way to do this for now without changing background chart settings right?

Is this still true? No way to change the text color in the Compact Tool Values Window? The fourth column is a maroon text that's very difficult to see on a black background.

Yes these colors are controllable. Refer to:
Graphics Settings: Introduction

The color is:
Chart Values Window Default Text Color

And the color you see now would be a color that you have set. That is not the default color that you are currently seeing.
