Better Volume Paint Bar

Description

This is a modification of indicator Better TickVolume with paint bar functionality. Please notice that this indicator only paint the bar, and not showing the tick volume. To show the tick volume with color-coded, use indicator Better TickVolume by ZigZagAK. 

 

In this version, down and up bar color is still hard coded (line 130-138) with color light gray (up bar) and gray (down bar). Next version will enable user to choose their color preference via menu.
