Hello

Does any one have a clue how to have the color on an object (Status Type Color) working on custom elements?

Thank you! ;D

There is an option which will turn the shadow to take the specific color. It's hard to see. And in one release they made it even worse recognizable. Consider using a shape script to paint an area according to the status using HasProperty("status","..."). This would work for stereotyped elements only.

Actually, it's all my fault, I forgot to check the correct box ;D.

So if any one need this feature:
1. Go to Tools>Option>object and check the box show object status color and click ok (or apply).
2. Go then in Settings>Project types> General types
3. Click on "apply to..." select your item (or all of them)

As qwerty said before, on most item you will only get a shadow (not really perfect) but on requirement or all custom extension of requirement/changes/issues it work well.

So works perfectly on :
-requirement
-change
-issue

Ridiculous shadow on:
-package
-test cut
-use case

ps: i will update this list later if i find new objects or if you propose some in the comment section below  :D
