I just copied in AlanOfTheBerg's scheme that was posted back on pg 3. I carefully cut'n'pasted just the color definition lines, and carefully matched up parameter names so I could ensure that I was getting them in the right places, but my screen looks nothing like his.
Did you use the post from September? Because that is the right one. The other one, I don't know what happened.

Yeah, the categories of landmarks the client can render differently is small. We don't really know how they are categorized on the server side when the data is sent to the app.

5. The remaining landmark classes don't seem to do anything unless someone knows different.
That is my experience as well. Stations affects a huge number of "classes" of landmarks.

I will love to try this out. Just because red is so much better than blue for not interfering with night vision.

Yes. You must create a skins folder inside the Documents folder in the app, and all subfolders as you see then in the app skins folder. Waze will pull from any exiting files inside Documents instead of the original scheme files.

No, just the ones you want to replace/substitute.

It's all in this thread I believe.

If not, search the forum for color schemes or color themes.
