Much easier on my eyes to use black/dark grey background with the Trading DOM.

Can't find a way to change the color of the box that highlights the bid or ask line when you hover the mouse in the Buy or Sell column prior to clicking to place an order.

Is there a way to change the hover outline color on the Trade DOM?

Yes. Refer to:

It is set with the Buy/Sell Column Lines settings.

I have the same problem. As you see in the attached image, Buy/Sell Column Lines are set to be white but the box is not white on Buy and Sell Columns. I don't know where such colors come from and how to change them.

This is explained in the documentation. They are drawn with an exclusive or drawing mode so the color most likely will be different than the Buy/Sell Column Lines.

Resurrecting an old question.

I saw in the docs: Customizing Fonts, Colors, Line Styles, and Widths for Chart Trading, Chart DOM, and Trade DOM: Trade DOM Colors, Line Styles, and Line Widths

In the case of the box which highlights the price level, this is drawn with a special drawing mode for efficiency reasons, so it may not match exactly this color setting. The Trade DOM Buy Column Background color will affect the highlight box color.

I understand this has been the case since about 5 years ago (i.e., the message before this one on this thread). Can we revist this?

It would be nice to be able to more precisely control the highlighting when hovering prices on the Trade DOM. Not only the outline, but maybe even the background. The "efficiency reasons" are probably irrelevant with today's hardware, compared to what they were 5 years ago, for the vast majority of people. It could possibly be made optional.

Any chance we can get that?

Thanks

I have the same problem "multi (pink, light blue, white, black)" color of the box that highlights the bid/ask/price line when you hover the mouse in the Buy or Sell column prior to clicking to place an order.
I refer to: http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?l=doc/doc_ChartTrading.html#CustomizingGraphics but after changing all the colors of my DOM including Buy/Sell column lines annoying multi color line is still there.
Will be faster, less distracting, more pleasing for the eyes and a little easier to line up orders especially when DOM is going fast in the morning if you will give us the option to chose only one color line.

Also, I want to thank you for creating this amazing platform.
