Change Symbols in Measurement Widget in 4.28

I am using arcgis core 4.28 and I need to change the symbology for the measurement widget. I know that on 4.17 we can change it by accessing the palette of the event viewModel but this seems impossible in 4.28. I need to have the boundary for area measurement with a symbol with transparent filling so just with just the border and no fill. Any ideas?

This is what works in 4.17 but not in 4.28

measurement.watch("activeWidget", function(evt){

if(evt !== null){

if(measurement.activeTool === "distance"){

evt.viewModel.palette.handleColor = [0,128,128,0.5];
evt.viewModel.palette.pathPrimaryColor = [0,76,76,1];
evt.viewModel.palette.pathSecondaryColor = [255,255,255,1];

}else{

evt.viewModel.palette.fillColor = [178,216,216,0];
evt.viewModel.palette.handleColor = [0,128,128,0.5];
evt.viewModel.palette.pathColor = [0,128,128,0.8];

}
}

});

I don't believe there's a documented way to do this. The following solution works, but uses undocumented features, and therefore may not work in a future version of the SDK. so use at your own risk:

Also, is there a way to change also the dots representing the vertices?

Yes, it's the same kind of deal. You could easily combine this with the previous one:
