Post From: OHLC Width %

We took a look at the code for how these are drawn, and the truth is that it uses the Increase/Decrease Thickness differently than if you just change the width of the bars. This then has an impact on the control of the overall width using the Width OHLC % to control the Open/Close markers.

Therefore, in your case, we would really recommend doing the following:
- Select the Control Bar option for Decrease Bar Thickness as many times as necessary to get the bars as thin as possible (it should be two times from what you have stated).
- Open the Global Settings >> Graphics Settings window.
- Select one of the Save slots and select the button for Save Settings. This way, if you need to get back to your previous settings, you can quickly do so.
- Find the following entries and set the Width for each one to how you want to see them:
- - Bar High-Low Down
- - Bar High-Low Up
- - Bar Open
- - Bar Close
- Then adjust your OHLC Width % as you want to see it.

Once you have the setup as you like, then we recommend saving the setup again to a different save slot.
