Hi Nasser,

This took me some time the find out myself. The hint in the
FillingStyle documentation is the word 'default'. FillingStyle
determines only the basic style for *all* fills. If you want to
deviate from this default you have to specify this with Filling, like
in the example below:

ListPlot[{{{1, 1}}, {{2, 3}}, {{3, 3}}}, AxesOrigin -> {0, 0},
 PlotStyle -> {Red, Blue, Green},
 Filling -> {1 -> {Axis, Red}, 2 -> {Axis, Blue}, 3 -> {Axis, Green}}]

Cheers -- Sjoerd
