Note there is also the suggestion for a more discerning change in the way water features are rendered by showing different types of waterbodies in different colors. The main goal of this idea would be to address the problem of poor visibility of rivers and streams in many situations, in particular in areas with detailed and differentiated landuse mapping - both in urban and rural contexts. Doing so with a single water color would lead to an overly dominating appearance of large water surfaces, i.e. the ocean and lakes. By using different tones for different types of water features the individual colors can be more specifically adjusted without the need to compromise between a lot of different requirements. A secondary goal of such a change would be to show the different types of water features we have in OSM in the map and this way encourage correct tagging. Implementing this requires a number of other changes so is somewhat more complex but ultimately these changes are desirable for other reasons anyway. Some more background information and a link to an implementation of this idea can be found on https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/issues/1781#issuecomment-241061156 -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
