Is there a way to make custom shaped multi-state indicators like circles, elispe, or triangles. I am currently using an image and tint color, but that only allows 2 states. Am I missing a way to do this. ---

You can use the Style Customizer to adjust your Fill color according to a bound property. Right-Click on the object Customizers -\> Style Customizer To quote one of the wise ones here: “I hope this helps!” Regards, ---

Thanks for the tip. I guess I never noticed the ability to assign a tag to the tint color. I just needed to enable the tint color and adjust the color using an integer tag. ---

You can also set as many states as you want for the indicator. Just click on the green + button at the bottom of the style customizer to add another. Unfortunately, if you want to make a circle or ellipse, you will have to move to something like the image component or the circle component and add a state dynamic property and throw a text label on top of it. ---

Think I missed something here. Do you mean adding a label or using the Label property of the Shape Component? ---

Haha, my mistake. Yes, I was talking about adding a label component but using the label property of the shape component would be the correct answer. 😊 ---

Here’s a quick example if anyone wants to play-- I mean, research and develop… 😉 [Multistate Example.zip](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/1X/a85321e8ce6556e2f9c5a3b66d4b18184bc56fe3.zip) (12.8 KB) ---

Not really, those shape components have changed since-- holy cats!-- has it been nine years already? Here’s one that uses current shapes. I use a dataset to hold the state/color/text values in one place.[Custom MultiState Indicator\_2019-10-08\_1433.proj](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/a/a48b8c6b684005313e5c0eefd5ec7d7ce0ed7eba.proj) (10.0 KB)
