Doji Candle not visually complete

[crokusek]

Omg, I see a doji. Thanks Edge. The new custom candle style wouldn't show up as an option for some reason (even after a restart, also tried inheriting from CandleStyle), so I just modified the default "@" one with benefit of not needing to upgrade 30 existing charts. Okay if its overwritten each release, its less time overall.

Request to please paste his code in the SFT in case the developer/PM does not read these long threads.

thanks #Edge for coming to the rescue, helpful as ever.
If I were to modify the @ default one per #crokusek, then no (detectable) 3rd party add-on ;-)

SFT ain't happening, 'cos 'transparent is transparent' so it's expected behaviour which trumps sense. It's the beauty of the platform - as long as you're a coder.
Per the #OP, I just want what makes sense for the User in the core platform - able to have no Outline, which introduces a problem if it's a Doji bar, in which case print the Doji.

Common sense

can be surprisingly uncommon.

By coders, for coders....

ah.. yes.. sorry about that.. ChartStyles are a little unique..

In State.Defaults.. You would not only need to change the Name,
but you will also need to assign a unique ChartStyleType:

Name           = "CandleStick2";
ChartStyleType = (ChartStyleType) 1024;

Must be unique Number and Advised to use larger value then 1023:

Im having the same problem. When you say "right click in white" What do you mean? In white what? The word "white" or on ANY of the white font on the screen?

I dont understand what to do. Why dont the developers just add that simple piece of code to fix the problem for everyone? Would take them a few minutes.
