Quote from: Tapio on Yesterday at 08:06:36I will look at it. What I instantly see is, Karl draws two lines, left and right from roads
@Tapio - no, it's more complex for this bridge. Those are two completely separate/ individually mapped cycleways/ footpaths on each side of the bridge. Yes OSM has the provision/ shortcut for showing footpaths alongside a road, but this bridge is not mapped in OSM like that.

the URL I used in a previous post wasn't very helpful, try
north side https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1136907812
south side https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/177421221

Quote from: Tapio on Yesterday at 13:24:23What do you think about the coloring of residential area town masses?
clever idea

All good Karl. Let me know when available to give it a try. Was your choice of Newtown (Wales?) to match my New Town (Tasmania)? nice ;-)

@tapio - in comparing your & Karl Chicks (for example) latest themes, I notice an issue with yours with our local very long city bridge around https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=19/-42.86549/147.33794, in which the cycle-and-foot-path on both sides of the bridge are not correctly rendered with your theme on the south side. It is correct on the north side - continuous blue. I can't see from the OSM editor why your theme stops the correct blue render and changes to a hollow render below:

4.20.1 - still an only quite recent issue on tablet where the full-screen panels are now a few pixels larger on all sides than the screen size. Example below (is preset settings), but random check of others suggests it happens to all full-screen windows

@karlchick - excellent. BTW @tapio has a nice feature - including the theme download link in his profile signature.

release notes.txt although dated 30/11/2023, only contains latest notes for v20210103?

The theme of my local suburban residential roads doesn't appear correct to me, or (more likely) at least has changed from the previous version. According to OS Map Day Legend.pdf, in my screen capture example below is Feature:Residential Name:Clare St Surface:Paved "Other Road" https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=17/-42.86223/147.30436 (emphasise road surface left:off right:on)

whereas a very similar road close by has been tagged as Surface:Asphalt, and the rendering doesn't have extra dashed gray overlay.

Comparing to the previous version (approx. 25-10-2021) didn't emphasize sealed roads, so technically I guess the new version is better, just not as readable compared to other themes, with the emphasis obscuring the road names. ~rant

Locus Map / Re: [APP] - version 4.20.+ ( 11/2023 )

Sometimes with latest beta versions my tablet displays a message "Locus Map has stopped" in the middle of the screen. It doesn't appear to be a regular Android message, or even regular Locus message. But I do not explicitly have LM4 running at the time the message is displayed!

It appears related to 1) when tablet is started 2) when WiFi is turned on, but why is Locus running at all (in the background) during these times??

@menion - fixed

Quote from: Menion on November 27, 2023, 10:06:45Aspect colored by slope > I've had this prepared, but wasn't satisfied with the colors ... so later.
exciting - I think this new method has great potential

Dashboard resizing bug: Expert setting > dashboard cell vertical positions are not adjusted when Fullscreen Mode is changed, so any cells near the top are hidden under the Android top notification panel, until LM is restarted.

Suggestion: main menu > About app > App info > VERSION: show all 4 version digits if non-zero, currently shows 4.20.0 instead of 4.20.0.1

Quote from: Tapio on November 25, 2023, 13:41:01Thanks. Route planner route still leaking into main screen btw.
same here, no change, ~8s from exit route planner until the planned route is removed from map

@menion - this new Aspect map shading is quite interesting but could it be further enhanced with color saturation proportional to the slope? i.e. a very pale color would suggest a flatter area, and very strong color (like the current) suggest steeper areas. This would then combine the best attributes of existing Slope shading. At present even quite flat areas have strong color, perhaps too strong, and maybe defeats the purpose.

@tapio on a recent cycle tour through Cyprus I notice your theme is not working properly at a high zoom level in the Cyprus republic capital of Nicosia when using Open Andro Map. You can observe the map with your theme has details within a triangle that are correct, then outside that triangle only POI are displayed. Quite strange. OS Map and LM City themes (also Voluntary although not attached) are all working correctly, so 95% sure it is theme related. I have not seen this with other map areas, and I mostly use your theme by default.

I can record the screen if you like, but I think you understand? But no one else has mentioned they experience this??
@menion - I've been recording the screen each time while saving a track - never has the bug appeared - this suggests to me the extra CPU load of the screen recording app is slowing down LM and preventing the bug.

4.19.0.13 release notes says fixed: "stuck @ start during init" - I don't know whether related but twice when I have task swapped - bring another app to foreground then attempt to bring Locus back to foreground, I get the starting screen below. It never progressed. I had tapped on the LM4 app shortcut on the phone home screen. That suggests to me LM has not properly detected it is already running, and switched to that instance. It used to be an issue for Windows apps (as a programmer). Today I was not even able to kill LM with KillApps Pro or from the task list which is a serious lockup! I had to restart the phone in order to recover operation! It must be related to 4.19.0.7 "completely new app start".

Quote from: Menion on November 21, 2023, 10:59:146 seconds?? Damn.  ::) ... also next attempt in the next app version.
confirmed 6s! - The delay got even longer going from .11 to .12 and has remained the same delay in latest beta .13. PS. Google Drive Download button is often hidden with Vivaldi web browser but OK with Chrome, so I'll use the latter from now on.
