Hollow body Candlesticks do not color

[Minotaur]

Using Bill Williams MFI coloring scheme on candlestick charts the Hollow body candlesticks have no color. Attacned is the EFS file. Solid body bars work correctly.
Any ideas on fixes for this EFS Script?

Right click the chart, select Edit Studies from the context menu then in the Edit Studies dialog box uncheck the Use Outline Color to outline candles. Click OK
Once you make this change the outline of the candle's body should be painted in the color defined in the script

If you also want the wicks painted in the same color of the body then you need to open the script and replace each instance of fWickColor in lines 141, 144, 147 150 and 153 with the color assigned in those same lines respectively fUpColor, fFadeColor, fFakeColor, fSquatColor and fDefColor

Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, there is no change. I have experimented with the various combinations in the dialog box, to no avail. Any other ideas would be welcome.

The candle outlines appear to be colored at my end when unchecking that option
Alternatively don't use the "Hollow Candles" parameter in the efs and just use the Hollow option for the Up and Down color in the Edit Studies dialog box

Will this repair color the outline of the body also? Or are wick and body outline seperate features? You are on the right track. When I look carefully the wick and body outline (regardless of hollow or filled) are black. Therefore, the only color being applied is when the body is filled, or close below open.

Contrary to what I indicated earlier the wick and outline colors are not separate so you will need to also color the wicks [or set the wick color parameter to null] to be able to color the outline (see my previous reply for the changes required to do this)
