The candle wicks are one pixel wide by default up until the pixels per bar gets up to 12 or above (pixels per bar is adjusted with the mouse wheel). You can decrease that 12 by changing this config down to something like 5 (or even 1)...
And if that doesn't do it, play around with the PaintCandles indicator. Very powerful for many other reasons but you can very easily set it up to give yourself wicks as thick as you want. So if you set the width to 6, just make sure you setup the position for half of that (3) outside. If you go to width of 8, then 4 outside.
And you can even use PaintCandles to paint the upper wick one color and lower wick another color...
Another approach....there is a config ChrtAllowCandleOverlap that defaults to false. When set to true, the width of the candles (or bars) is allowed to exceed the pixels per bar. In other words, the candles or bars are allowed to take up more space than they are allocated.
Once this config is set to true, when you use Shift+Ctrl+Scrollwheel to adjust the width of the candle or bar (independently of the pixels per bar of the chart), it will allow the width of these bars or candles to exceed the pixels per bar setting...resulting in the following possibilities...
Notice the 2 numbers in the Pixels/Bar setting. When two numbers exist, this means the width of the candle/bar is now independant form the pixels/bar setting. The 1st number is the pixels/bar (space allocated for each bar) and the 2nd number after the colon is the actual width at which the bar or candle is drawn. The scrollwheel adjusts the 1st number while Ctrl+Shift+Scrollwheel adjusts the 2nd number. At any time you can reset that Pixels/Bar setting to just one number to link the two together again when the scrollwheel is used. Ctrl+dbl-click in the chart window will also force the chart back to the two sharing the same number.

Here is another possibility with bars....
Hi,
is the Candle Wick Width RTX requires lots of processing power? If I add it on years on minutes chart, will it add lots of overhead on the CPU?
I assume you mean the PaintCandles RTX Indicator, and no, shouldn't be too heavy on processing.
