UML Profile to change colour on a stereotype

[Guillaume]

Hi,

I'm creating an UML Profile to define a custom colour scheme for ArchiMate 2.0 built-in MDG.

I created my stereotypes extending the MetaClass e.g. Class, and generalizing the ArchiMate Stereotype.

First attempt, I changed the default fill colour -> the colour is applied but I lose the rendering/element drawing defined in ArchiMate.
Second attempt, I defined a ShapeScript DrawNativeShape(); and left the default colour -> I get a mixed rendering with the chosen colour (ArchiMate rendering is altered).
Third attempt, I used DrawParentShape and SetFillColour in my shapescript -> the element is colourless (I also tried the default colour).

I'm out of options...

Try DrawParentShape. Just a guess.

I tried this as my 3rd attempt ; this option doesn't let me set a custom colour, doesn't use the main stereotype colour, and doesn't let users change the element's colour.

I actually found a solution to my issue: it was due to the fact that my stereotypes had the exact same name as the main stereotypes.
Having renamed my stereotypes and set the Default Colour fixed it

I guess you could get by with choosing a different metatype. Again just a guess.

Good guess

I found that icons are directly related to metatypes. So that lead me to this assumption
