hi kvak,
yes, it would be something like that, when the 2 ribbons are the same color but in histogram,
as to why histogram better and what possible use:
i think when paired with trend indicators like MA's i think it could work as a fast trend detection for scalping or short term trading since it show Strong trend moves that could be taken advantage of by using for example a Gann indicator, and because the MA's will be on the main window to better see the trend, having it on another window will make the setup clenaer either if you work with full screen or with several mini charts open simltaneously.
if you look in the picture it's a down trend, so just by looking for the moments in which both "Fast BB" are below the "Slow BB" yu can see that were the moments when the pair get stronger movements, of course not every time the setup act as a filter will be a signal, but still it cold give some better filtering that for example a BB stops alone since the BBstops will just make a change when the price touch the other BB, while with this it will keep showing a trend for as long as the both "fast bb" are wither above or below the "slow bb"
that indicator you posted indeed work in a very similar way, when both ribbons are the same color will be when both bands from BB1 are either above or belos the bands from BB2, just that as i said above, it will need a trend indicator and visually, at least in my case, i think its easier when looking at a histogram since Im not really looking for the BBinfo but just to see if the trend is strong at the precise moment.
