Layers cascaded from another WMS cannot be styled, in any way, they are
displayed as is.
The original plan was to wait for funding and implement the selection among
the named
styles the cascaded server exposes (a WMS server can allow the choice among
a list
of styles) or detect that the remote server can do dynamic styling using
SLD_BODY,
and cascade the style which has been locally assigned.
None of the two received any funding so far, so the code does not apply any
sort of
styling.
The idea of applying the local raster style on the returned image has never
been on the table,
but I see it can have uses, at least limited to opacity control (the other
features are either useless,
e.g. colormap, or difficult to get right, e.g. channel selection, as we
don't control the band structure
returned by the remote server, which could legitimately stop returning an
alpha band or switch
from RGB to paletted and vice versa, there are no promises of stability of
the band structure in the WMS
contract).
However... don't see how to do that while at the same time not preventing
the selection of a remote style
or the cascade of a style via SLD_BODY. Maybe limited to cascaded wms
layers the GUI could
propose a "opacity" configuration for the layer. Regardless, it needs
someone to code this new feature.
