Stupid non-coders question: How complicated would it be to introduce a third PNG? Use "mapwidget-marker.png" as default. When editing a dive site, then replace the current dive site with "mapwidget-marker-selected.png" and all others with a new "mapwidget-marker-gray.png". If that is complicated, then not sure if it is worth the effort (in my view, small usability improvement, but not a major issue....) I don't like the idea of using a different color. Although red flag with white diagonal is, at least outside the US, not an official signal, it is still commonly recognised all over the world.... Dietrich
