Daily chart gap fills

How do I get the daily chart to show gaps like on TOS? I'm having trouble finding the start and end times settings but I'm pretty sure I've set those already to 6:30 to 13:00 PST. Is there some other setting to show gaps on the daily chart?

We think what you are looking for is handled in the two settings starting here:
Chart Settings: Do Not Draw Columns With No Data (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Bar Period >> Chart Bar Settings menu)

that didn't work for me. It just added an occasional flat bar like on 5/30 but all the other bars still look the same.
I think what I want is to uncheck "Use Evening Session" but that's only available for intraday charts.
There's no way to get rid of evening session for the daily chart?

There is not an option to not have an evening session on Daily Historical data. You would have to make it an Intraday Chart and remove the Evening Session that way.

I tried switching to intraday and turning off evening session then back to the daily chart but there's no difference. Any chance you guys could make it possible to turn off evening sessions for daily charts so we can see gaps?

First thing, Daily data is sent by the exchange separately from the individual trades that make up an intraday chart. The Daily data is just Open, High, Low, Close, and Volume for the day. There is no separation of information based on time. So it is not possible to create an "Evening Session" from that data.

Second, what exactly are you wanting to accomplish. We are not sure what you want to do, and we have just be answering the specific questions that you have been asking. Perhaps there is a way to do what you want, but until we know what the underlying desire is, we can not tell you how to do it.
