There are already existing many JOSM paint styles for different usecases. But didn't you always felt like hm yes this is very useful but I would prefer if it shows in red instead of green because in my area this is not visible enough. Or you working with a special niche data that haven't been covered by another paint style yet. Why not make your own? Let's explore the openness of JOSM and use it for our benefit.
This workshop about JOSM paint styles will be divided into sections:
- What is a JOSM paint style and how to discover the existing ones?
- Why and how you can create your very own that will fit your exact needs because it is gonna be built by you
