Hello
It should be somehow easy but can not find any way to change ohlc bars color depending on the total bar volume value.
I thought that Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study would help but this is for alert.
I just only would like to have a color change.

You are doing it right, you just need to research the Study a little more. The alert trigger will change the bar color.

So firstly I would need to create an alert for volume than link this in some way with Color Bar Based study? Description of this study is a little overhelming for me, I did so many things so far in SC, some with the help of online searches but this one is not so easy.

Just create a formula on the Alerts tab of the color bar study that goes TRUE based on your total volume condition.

So for others searching similar thing: open Color Bar Based study settings, go to Alert Tab, input there: "V>x" where x is your volume value above which you want to highlight your bar.
