allow turning off tiger:reviewed=no highlighting

[NE2]

If a way is tagged tiger:reviewed=no, JOSM puts a highlight behind it, and when you select it the red is a lot fatter. It's apparently possible to make the highlight transparent, but it's still red when selected, which hides direction arrows.

From talk-de:

Another option is to modify the default style and simply remove the tiger style rules. For this you copy <http://josm.openstreetmap.de/browser/trunk/styles/standard/elemstyles.xml>

to some folder, fix it in a text editor and then simply load the style from the preferences. (Make sure to untick "enable build-in defaults".)

I'm having a bit of trouble with this - I loaded this xml in 'map paint styles' but now all ways show up as gray lines.

There seems to be a general user interface problem here, as you are not the first having trouble with loading custom styles.

Please open Help -> "Status Report" and add the text here. There I can see your map paint preferences.

Here's with the unchanged elemstyles.xml and 'enable built-in defaults' unchecked: [...] mappaint.style.enable-defaults=false mappaint.style.sources=C:\Program Files\JOSM\elemstyles.xml marker.audiofromstart=false marker.buttonlabels=false message.delete_outside_nodes=false message.delete_outside_nodes.value=1 message.movedManyElements.value=1 message.pluginmanger.version.value=1 [...]

But this bug isn't about why that won't work. It's about the need for an easier way to hide the highlighting.

Replying to NE2:

But this bug isn't about why that won't work. It's about the need for an easier way to hide the highlighting.

Ok then, what about fixing the selection painting instead? I.e. paint selected way with the width of the line style and not with the maximum width of all overlays.

[NE2]

Yeah, that should work.

[stoecker]

That wont work. I tried that initially and it looks pretty ugly for bridges and other overlays.

[bastiK]

(In [3405]) changed drawing of highlighted, selected and disabled ways to adapt the alpha value of overlays. see #5292

[bastiK]

Changed the alpha value. You can see the way direction now and you can get completely rid of the tiger highlights with

color.mappaint.standard.tiger_data=#00000000

@NE2: You can close the ticket if it solves your issue.

[anonymous]

I don't know if it solves the issue, since the latest version available is 3400 :P

[NE2]

that was me - stupid thing logs you out...

[NE2]

Yes, that's better. Thanks.
