| | 27 | |
| | 28 | You don't like the standard style? Change it to your own liking: |
| | 29 | |
| | 30 | * Either use one of the above styles or the [http://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk/styles/standard/elemstyles.xml standard] one as a base for own styles |
| | 31 | * Now you can edit the file (the [http://josm.openstreetmap.de/svn/trunk/styles/standard/elemstyles.xml standard style] contains a format description) |
| | 32 | * When you made new icons, either add a path to these in mappaint.icon.sources or use absolute URL to a webspace containing the icons |
| | 33 | * Enter your style in the JOSM mappaint preferences. |
| | 34 | * ... restart JOSM and your new style will be used! |
| | 35 | * When the style should be available for other users as well, then add it to the above list of this page. |

| | 37 | === Style Collection === |
| | 38 | If you have an interesting style that might be useful for others, but are not compatible with the automatic access mechanism, just add a note here. Preferred is using the automatic usage |
| | 39 | as described above (list in the source at top of this wiki page). |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | * The OSM2Go [http://repository.maemo.org/extras/pool/chinook/free/source/o/osm2go/ source archives] of version 0.6-4 contains a potlatch like JOSM style and version 0.6-5 contains an additional Mapnik like JOSM style in the data directory. These were written for OSM2Go and have not been tested with JOSM. |
| | 42 | * There is a style corresponding to the German hiking map for [http://topo.geofabrik.de/osmc_style.zip download] ([http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:OSMC_Reitkarte#JOSM_Stil Installation hints]). |

| | 44 | == JOSM styles for newbies (HOWTO) == |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | To make any changes to JOSM's styles, go to the preferences panel (Menu: Edit->Preferences or hit [F12]). Then click the 3rd button on the left ("Settings for map projection and data interpretation") and select the "Map Paint Styles" tab. |
| | 47 | There you can find three text boxes: "Map Paint Styles", "Defaults" and "Icon paths". |
| | 48 | |
| | 49 | The upper one ("Map Paint Styles") contains the currently selected *special* styles, but it maybe empty if you're just beginning to tweak JOSM's map paint stye :-) |
| | 50 | The middle one contains all "Default" style sets for special purposes which are available. Let's assume that you're interested in sea maps, then you probably will make use of the style "Sea Map Freie Tonne": Just highlight this line by clicking on it and push the "Copy Defaults" button, the selected line will show up in the upper box and will be active after the next JOSM start. You can add multiple styles as well, if you want. |
| | 51 | To delete a special style you don't use anymore, just select it in the upper box and hit the "Delete" button. |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | Well, let's continue with advanced style usage! You created your own style (see below on this page)? Just click "Add" and enter either path and filename or URL of your style file. |
