org-tidy-properties-style "fringe" doesn't seem to work

[whbos]

When using the config below, the property drawers show up instead of just using the fringe:

(use-package org-tidy
  :ensure t
  :custom
  (org-tidy-properties-style "fringe")
  :hook
  (org-mode . org-tidy-mode))

Removing the :custom part from makes the '#' show up next to the header, so I take it the package is installed correctly.

I can reproduce the error using the steps below:

Totally forgot to thank you for making this package available, org documents are so much more readable using it 😄

@whbos Thanks for your feedback. org-tidy-properties-style should be a symbol, not a string. You can try this:

(setq org-tidy-properties-style 'fringe)

I will point this out in the document.
