Simple Digital gradient not working: Medusa 11.7

[BurtonAlexand14]

// Code with workaround

	// @formatter:off
	Gauge g = GaugeBuilder.create()
			.skinType(SkinType.SIMPLE_DIGITAL)
			.foregroundBaseColor(Color.rgb(0, 222, 249))
			.barColor(Color.rgb(0, 222, 249))
			.title(text)
			.minValue(0.0)
			.maxValue(1.0)
			.gradientBarEnabled(true)
            .gradientBarStops(new Stop(0.00, Color.BLUE),
                              new Stop(0.25, Color.CYAN),
                              new Stop(0.50, Color.LIME),
                              new Stop(0.75, Color.YELLOW),
                              new Stop(1.00, Color.RED))
            .decimals(3)
			.build();
	// @formatter:on
	
            // Workaround, new skin set explicitly
	g.getSkin().dispose();
	g.setSkin(new SimpleDigitalSkin(g));
	
            // Without workaround, throws exception
	g.setValue(value.doubleValue());

After building the gauge calling setValue causes an exception:

Exception in thread "nioEventLoopGroup-3-1" java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "eu.hansolo.medusa.tools.AngleConicalGradient.getImagePattern(javafx.scene.shape.Rectangle)" because "this.gradient" is null
at eu.hansolo.medusa.skins.SimpleDigitalSkin.setBar(SimpleDigitalSkin.java:207)
at eu.hansolo.medusa.skins.SimpleDigitalSkin.lambda$new$1(SimpleDigitalSkin.java:109)

The workaround is to set a new SimpleDigitalSkin explicitly
