Cory ,

Thanks for the reply.

I m looking for a paintbar future who changes the colour of the bars whenever the fast and the slow line of the SMI crosses.

Looking for the same future on the Sine Wave indicator when the Lead Wave and the Sine Wave crosses.

I added pictures.

Thanks.

You can use code similar to the following in your indicators to colour bars, in case you were wondering how this is done:
 
Code
if (Input[0] > 0)
{
	CandleOutlineColor 	= Color.DarkGreen;
	BarColor 		= Color.DarkGreen;
}
else if (Input[0] < 0)
{
	CandleOutlineColor 	= Color.Firebrick;
	BarColor 		= Color.Firebrick;
}

Just change the if conditions to match what you need, and the colors as well, so for your first example it would be something like this (not exactly this since you would need to declare SMI and I'm not sure if the plots are called Fast or Slow):
 
Code
if (SMI.Fast[0] > SMI.Slow[0])
{
	CandleOutlineColor 	= Color.DarkGreen;
	BarColor 		= Color.DarkGreen;
}
else if (SMI.Fast[0] < SMI.Slow[0])
{
	CandleOutlineColor 	= Color.Firebrick;
	BarColor 		= Color.Firebrick;
}

To change the colour of indicator plots, use:
 
Code
PlotColors[0][0] = Color.DarkGreen;
