The Hidden and Sketchy visual styles automatically change the color of solid-fill hatches and gradients to the background color, making them invisible. To make the original color visible for these visual styles, set VSFACESTYLE to 1 or 2.

Note: Existing visual styles are not changed when you enter a new value for this system variable. Any new value entered for this system variable temporarily creates an unsaved new visual style.
