dial text display style

[littlesphaeroid]

Minor frustration: I decided to give the Silver theme a shot, since I was building a VI that didn't require a lot of controls and indicators. I placed a guage control to simulate an RPM indicator. I want it to display "3" when set to 3000. To do this, I set up text labels in the properties dialog for the control. The I made the text display visible for the guage, and then I make the digital display visible for the text display (whew!), and then I freak out because these two displays do not have the silver style applied, and there appears to be no way to modify them. Yikes!

The Modern theme is even worse. The digital display has no graphical style at all. It looks like a plain text label. I looked at the Modern and traditional guages, and they behave differently in other ways, including how many digits of precision are shown in the text and digitial displays when text labels are used. Weird.

In the process of testing this, I also discovered that copying a Guage does not retain it's text label properties. Is this extected behavior?

Are you expecting the gauge to automating convert 3000 to 3?  an easy work around might be to divide by 1000 in your program. 

I tried pulling up a silver gauge, modifying the text properties, then holding control and dragging a new gauge copy from the old one.  The text properties seemed to stay the same.  Exactly which properties did you want to replicate and what was your process for copying?
