<<boundary>> stereotype colors/skinparams not changeable

[christo-ph]

Hi,

I am trying to manipulate the <> stereotype font color or size, but it seems to have no effect. All other types working correctly.

No matter what I do, the stereotype remains here white and the size remains default:

what I currently have for styling:

!define BORDER_COLOR      #333333
!define FONT_COLOR        #333333

skinparam rectangle<<boundary>> {
  Shadowing false
  StereotypeFontSize 0
  StereotypeFontColor FONT_COLOR
  FontColor FONT_COLOR
  BorderColor BORDER_COLOR
  BorderStyle dashed

Thanks for your help.

There seems to be an issue with plantuml itself, maybe I'm missing something but check out this example:

@startuml test
skinparam rectangle<<outerbox>> {
    FontColor #FF0000
    BackgroundColor #00FF00
    StereotypeFontSize 40
}

skinparam rectangle<<box>> {
    StereotypeFontSize 40
}

rectangle "Box" <<outerbox>>{
    rectangle "Nested" <<box>>
}

rectangle "Box2" <<outerbox>>
rectangle "NotNested" <<box>>

The moment you nest them, the stereotype properties are ignored for the parent element. I think this is the best place to start playing with the properties and maybe you could find something that works. I tried a bunch of combinations but nothing seems to do the trick.

I am going to close this. It is PlantUML related, and according to their announcement, in favour of their new styling system there will be no further time spend on skinparam syntax.

@christo-ph: the problem can be solved if you change the package<<...>> stereotype too (rectangle does not set all; details see #128).

@startuml
!define BORDER_COLOR      #333333
!define FONT_COLOR        #770000

skinparam rectangle<<boundary>> {
  Shadowing false
  StereotypeFontSize 30
  StereotypeFontColor FONT_COLOR
  FontColor FONT_COLOR
  BorderColor BORDER_COLOR
'  BackgroundColor #00EEEE
  BorderStyle dashed
}

' skinparam package<<boundary>> {
'   StereotypeFontSize 30
'   StereotypeFontColor FONT_COLOR
'}

rectangle "Box" <<boundary>>{
    rectangle "Nested" <<boundary>>
}

rectangle "NotNested" <<boundary>>
@enduml

@startuml
!define BORDER_COLOR      #333333
!define FONT_COLOR        #770000

skinparam rectangle<<boundary>> {
  Shadowing false
  StereotypeFontSize 30
  StereotypeFontColor FONT_COLOR
  FontColor FONT_COLOR
  BorderColor BORDER_COLOR
'  BackgroundColor #00EEEE
  BorderStyle dashed
}

' that all boundaries have the same init color as the normal rectangle
' (but as soon you change the rectangle background color the package background color is updated too
' and you don't need to set the color in plantUML context)
skinparam packageBackgroundColor #FEFECE

skinparam package<<boundary>> {
   StereotypeFontSize 30
   StereotypeFontColor FONT_COLOR
}

rectangle "Box" <<boundary>>{
    rectangle "Nested" <<boundary>>
}

rectangle "NotNested" <<boundary>>
