Currently when I make the bars wider by using <SHIFT><CTRL><up arrow> and <down arrow> then when the bars get wider body of the bar gets way to wide so that it becomes fuzzy and outgrows the actual prices of the highs and lows of the bar. If the body of the bar remains very thin while the open and close segments of the bar are much longer than what is currently reasonable with NT then it's easier to read the OHLC values both when zoomed in or when zoomed out. I don't know why you are making the bars fuzzy when widening and I don't expect you to change your code but I'd like to make my own version of the OHLC bars as a bars add on.
If you could give me a hint and let me know if I could reuse your bars code and maybe what section of the code to work on to keep the bars body very thin while making the Open and Close segments almost 100% width of the bar to bar spacing.
I've attached a png (top pic) showing what I'm trying to get from NT - as you can see the open segment of the new bar almost touches the close segment of the previous bar.
I've also attacched a png (bottom pic) of what NT looks like when I size the bar for ~100% bar spacing and you can see that the bar body is taking up about 1/3 of the total available horizontal space for the bar and I want to modify that so the bar body remains very thin or the thinnest setting possible.
thanks
