Hi @congchen1101 interesting. Thank you. Anyway, the issue you have opened is quite generic and it is not so clear what you would like to achieve with this at the UI/UX level. I'm wondering if you have already discussed that on the mailing list, that's something I suggest you to do if your purpose is to contribute to the MS core. The goal in staying in touch with the MS's ML is to provide your proposal and find a proper agreement for it with the dev core team members. Thank you so much again for using and developing with MapStore.

Hi @tdipisa,

Thank you for your feedback and suggestion. I apologize if my initial issue description was too generic. To clarify, my goal with this enhancement is to allow developers to define custom highlight styles for selected features, specifically focusing on properties like color and line thickness. This would provide more flexibility and control over the map’s visual representation.

It’s important to note that this change will not alter the current default highlight styles; if users do not make any additional definitions, the existing highlight behavior will remain unchanged.

I will take your advice and start a discussion on the mailing list to provide a more detailed proposal and gather feedback from the core dev team members.

Thank you again for your guidance. I look forward to collaborating further to make this contribution beneficial to the MapStore community.

Best regards,
Cong Chen
