Hey guys!

It seems that stereotyping for skinparams does not work for composite states in state diagrams.

Regards
Andreas

Hello guys,

sure. Just consider the following example:

@startuml
skinparam state {
BorderColor<<comp>> Black
BackgroundColor<<comp>> Blue
BorderColor<<simple>> Black
BackgroundColor<<simple>> Green
}
c<<simple>> --> d<<simple>> : event
 
state "a_1" as a<<comp>>{
x<<simple>> --> y<<simple>> : ev
}
 
state "a_2" as b<<comp>> {
w<<simple>> --> z<<simple>> : ev2
}
 
a --> b : ev3
@enduml
 
To be more precise, it seems that the skinparam "BorderColor" is ignored for stereotyped composite states. Despite defining it as Black for composite states <<comp>>, it is always drawn as a thin red line. If "BorderColor" is defined globally (without stereotype), composite states are drawn correct. Other skinparams seem to work fine even for stereotyped composite states.
 
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
Regards
Andreas
