Synch Stereotype for Default Appearance?

[Marcus Wieschalla]

When I assign a stereotype to an element (such as a class) and call "Synchronize Stereotype" for that stereotype in the toolbox, tagged values and constraints of that stereotype are copied to that element.

Unfortunately, the same mechanism doesn't work for the Default Appearance. Is there a workaround for that?

I want to define a background color for a stereotype, assign that stereotype to a larger number of elements and then "copy" the background color of that stereotype to those elements.

Thanks
