I am using a NumberBar / FootPrint style chart and have selected to use Candle Body outline to get a sense of direction. I wanted some way to see the wicks, which I could not find an option to accomplish this in Number Bars. So, I created a 2nd chart using the same chart settings, and then added an Overlay (Bar) and selected H/L Bar as the style. It looks good in all cases except when the NumberBar candle body is only 1 tick tall. In a fair # of bars, which I have looked at, it appears the Numbers Bar Candle body is one color and the H/L Bar overlay is another.

My first request would be for Number Bars to offer Candle Sticks, not just Candle Body as an option, then a 2nd chart and using it as an overlay is not needed. My second request is to have all bar style have the same colors for the same candle formation.

This will be solved in the next release:

Also you do not need a second chart. The Overlay study can reference the very same chart it is on. That will work just fine.
