skinparam component {
    style rectangle
    BorderColor Orange
    BackgroundColor Red
    BackgroundColor<<static lib>> Blue
    BackgroundColor<<daemon>> Green
}
[R]
[B] <<static lib>>
[G] <<daemon>>

Hello N.,

Because when a component becomes a rectangle...  it is necessary to change rectangle skinparam! wink

Here is a workaround:

@startuml
skinparam component {
    style rectangle
}
skinparam rectangle {
    BorderColor Orange
    BackgroundColor Red
    BackgroundColor<<static lib>> Blue
    BackgroundColor<<daemon>> Green
}
[R]
[B] <<static lib>>
[G] <<daemon>>

If that can help,
