Is there a better OHLC bar type anywhere?

I've always found the OHLC bar type in NT a bit odd. I can't quite put my finger on why, but I think it is because the OPEN and CLOSE are rather small.

No matter what I do with bar width, or scaling, they just always look weird.

It just seems like they look better on most other platforms.

THe pic below shows this in NT, with two different scales, and they both suck imo.

Does anyone know of a better OHLC bar type anywhere?

Thanks but that doesn't get me what I'm looking for. I'd really like the open/close to jsut be a bit more prominent. I love NT8, but I've always hated the OHLC charts

What about this:

2 SMA based on Open/Close triangle right/Left

Haha, that is at the very least creative. I'd have never thought of it.
