See the attached picture and check all your settings or just delete the control and add a new one.

If you are actually looking to have it like it is in this attached picture then that's a tricky one and would require modifying the control (which might never happen).

The attached picture was created in Paint program and from the picture attached in the previous post.

If that is what you are looking for, that is the wrong control/graphic.  You will want something like this:

In my opinion, that is not the purpose of a gauge.  Like I said, if you want something now use the control I referenced.  It has 5 "bands".  The main difference is it's linear, not circular, which is better suited for an HMI.  You waste too much real estate with a gauge.  Godra didn't seem to think the gauge will change for your request, so unless you make your own, or use the one I referenced, looks like you are out of luck.
