Change DOM background color

[JoshDance]

I do. FYI.........the RGB numbers for NT's DOM background in live mode are 224,223,227.

Thanks for your replies everyone.

You guys kill me. Here are two shots, one live, and the other 212,208,200

If you feel otherwise post shots of your DOM in both modes.

Josh,

I'm talking about the DOM background color when you switch from SIM to LIVE. The color gets lighter in LIVE mode. The RGB color for the lighter LIVE mode is 224,223,227.

That's exactly what I'm talking about Rick--you're saying that the color on your left DOM (live) is 224,223,227?

If that's what you're saying, can you switch the sim color to this, take a shot in sim mode, and post that? This is what I have posted above -- a LIVE dom and a SIM dom, with the sim dom showing 212,208,200 -- they match.

So can you change the LIVE color of the DOM yet ? or are we back to the first post again (from 2009)

Hi Jason11,

To be clear, it is not possible to change the background color of the live DOM. A change here is on development's list of considerations, but there is no word on if or when a change may take place.

My original question was........what are the RGB color numbers for the background of NT's DOM in live mode. As far as I know you can't change the background color in LIVE mode, so I didn't know what they were. I like my Chart background color (that butts up against my DOM) to match. Therefore, I took a color sample of the LIVE DOM background color, ran it through a software program that gave me the RGB color numbers.

I'm all set now.

Thanks again,

Rick

Still back at 2009 request.

Perhaps your monitor calibration is off, or perhaps mine is. Either way, you can see from the screen shot of my live dom and my sim dom using 212,208,200 that they match perfectly when using this color. As long as you got what you need, it's all good I suppose.

We can change the DOM background color when in simulation mode but not in real mode. In real mode the color is white and it's too bright. I have all my charts in black and the white background of the DOM is very distracting. It'd be nice if we could set the color for real mode and not just simulation.

Five years later and I still can't change the live DOM colors.

If it hasn't been done in 5 years I'm not holding my breath.

Hello cunparis,

Thanks for your reply.

It is being taken into consideration. Not all requests will be implemented. The fixed live color for example is currently designed this way to always know that this color means live as a precaution.

I was just kidding. I'm happy with white now.

What I'd really like is built-in market profile features, volume profiling, and buttons to go on the chart like with IRT/MD.

These features will be taken into consideration also.

I've got a bright idea (no pun intended)... lets switch the colors! Dark color means "Look out, you are live buddy, it's dangerous out there!" and a lighter color means "Cool man, you are good to go and goof around with your sim trader".
