# Customizing the Pointer and Cap Learn how to customize the pointer and cap of C1Gauge control. See more demos, documentation, and samples here. ## Content The pointer and cap objects consist of many styling properties. To modify these properties expand the [Cap](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) or [Pointer](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) property nodes in the **C1Gauge.Gauges Collection Editor** on the selected [C1Gauge](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/). With the pointer you can customize the filling, border and gradient properties just like with all shape elements in C1Gauge. You can also choose a predefined shape for the pointer and further customize the shape in the **CustomShape** properties.
