To style the cap, follow these steps:

1. Click the **ellipsis** button next to the [Gauges](/componentone/api/win/online-gauges/dotnet-api/C1.Win.Gauge.10/C1.Win.Gauge.C1Gauge.Gauges.html) property in the Properties window. The **C1Gauge.Gauges Collection Editor** dialog box opens.
2. Expand the **Cap** node, and set the following properties:
3. Set [Radius](/componentone/api/win/online-gauges/dotnet-api/C1.Win.Gauge.10/C1.Win.Gauge.C1GaugeCap.Radius.html) to **15**.
4. Expand **Filling** and set the [Color](/componentone/api/win/online-gauges/dotnet-api/C1.Win.Gauge.10/C1.Win.Gauge.CommonFont.Color.html) property to **White**.
5. Expand **Filling** and set the Color2 to **Black**.
6. Expand **Filling** and set the [BrushType](/componentone/api/win/online-gauges/dotnet-api/C1.Win.Gauge.10/C1.Win.Gauge.C1GaugeFilling.BrushType.html) to **Gradient**.
7. Expand [Shadow](/componentone/api/win/online-gauges/dotnet-api/C1.Win.Gauge.10/C1.Win.Gauge.C1Gauge.Shadow.html) and set **Visible** to **True**

[C1Gauge](/componentone/docs/win/online-gauges/) also includes a **MoreCircles** collection for the cap object. This allows you to add more circle shapes to your cap design, each with the same set of styling properties.
