You can override the Layer Switcher defaults by inserting the following js snippet before you initiate your map...
OpenLayers.Lang.en={'overlays':"My Overlays<br>",'baseLayer':"Base Layers<br>"}; If you want to customize your layer controls further, you'll probably want to write your own control using getVisibility and setVisibility- see http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.9.1/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer-js.html#OpenLayers.Layer.getVisibility http://dev.openlayers.org/releases/OpenLayers-2.9.1/doc/apidocs/files/OpenLayers/Layer-js.html#OpenLayers.Layer.getVisibility . You may want to also consider using GeoExt, which supports "Tree Nodes"- see example here: http://dev.geoext.org/trunk/geoext/examples/tree.html http://dev.geoext.org/trunk/geoext/examples/tree.html . ----- Bryan R.
