App: External map styles

In Kurviger 2.1.11 fuel stations and charging stations have separate icons - but the difference is hardly to detect, especially on a smartphone:

  • charging station: image
  • fuel station: image

As a first step I modified a style where I just changed the color of the charging station to dark green:

  • extract folder “assets” from Kurviger 2.1.11 APK
  • rename folder “assets” to “SeparateChargingStation”
  • in folder “SeparateChargingStation/kurviger” delete “openmaptiles.xml” (prevent Kurvinger asking for desired style when opening generated style ZIP)
  • in folder “SeparateChargingStation/kurviger” rename “default.xml” to “SeparateChargingStation.xml”
  • move “SeparateChargingStation.xml” to folder “SeparateChargingStation” (according to hint from @devemux86 above next to [patterns, symbols, textures])
  • in folder “SeparateChargingStation\symbols\custom\transport” create a copy of charging_station.svg and rename it to charging_station_green.svg
  • edit charging_station_green.svg with text editor: in row 16 change fill=“#ac39ac” to fill=“#0e600e”
  • edit SeparateChargingStation.xml with text editor: change all occurences of “assets:symbols/custom/transport/charging_station.svg” to “file:symbols/custom/transport/charging_station_green.svg”
  • ZIP the folder “SeparateChargingStation” to “SeparateChargingStation.zip” and copy it to Android device
    After opening ZIP as a style in kurviger the charging stations have a dark green color: image

Of course you can apply any other RBG color by choosing an other hex code instead of #0e600e (see e.g. HTML Color Picker).

Probably it would be also helpful to be able to switch fuel stations and charging stations separately … perhaps I will try later (but do not wait for it :wink: )
