You can not easily change the shape of the needle on the Built In Gauge Component. Nothing stopping you from making your own though, with a little SVG magic you can get really complex. For instance, this was made entirely in the designer (but I'm admittedly a bit crazy when it comes to what I'll do in the designer with SVG's). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/9/0/9080d6b689ef5b2a80a8ae2debf05a2ca6b2785e.png)
