Dear all, A couple or comments:
- We are aware that not everyone likes the new colours, but the comments we received (both here and on Github) indicates that a majority prefers lighter colours. - Can anyone who dislikes the new building colours please indicate which hardware you are using when looking at the map? It would be interesting to see if the problems are worse on certain types of hardware. It would be even better if you could compare multiple devices (e.g. desktop and mobile, or desktop and laptop). - I'd be happy with more customisation of the style. One of the explicit design goals of osm-carto is to make the style easily customizable. I agree it would be nice to have easy customisation available through osm.org, but I have my hands full on the current stylesheet already, so it won't be me who will be implementing that. - Lester, the discussion was not "a couple of days over the holiday season". My initial request for feedback was at 27 November. Also I'm sorry if I don't respond to every comment individually. I am trying to balance the time spend on communicating with the community and writing code - if I would go into individual discussions with everyone on the list, I wouldn't be able to write a single line of code. I hope I'm striking the right balance.
