Go to Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Colors and Chart Font tab
-Set the wick color and width with Bar High Low Up and Bar High Low Down
-Set the candle fill colors with Candlestick Up Fill and Candlestick Down Fill

Then go to Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other tab:
-Uncheck Color Candlestick High-Low Using The Outline Colors
