I'm using Ignition Perspective version 8.1.22.  
I added Fill Style to the Valve and change the color. Somehow, it doesn't work.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

The fill style is set by `props.state`.  
You can select default, open, failedToOpen, partiallyClosed, closed, failedToClose.

Version 8.1.26 introduced some additional customisation.

Tip: you'll find that valve open is white. This is in line with the newer High Performance HMI approach. See [RealPars](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCrCrpF7mUo&t=145s&ab_channel=RealPars) on YouTube. (It's the second time I've mentioned them today.) Use colour sparingly and don't rely on it to pass information to an operator. 1 in 12 men have some form of colour-blindness (red/green most common) and 1 in 200 women.
