OpenStreetBrowser/Landuse- and Building Colors
As you may have noticed, the different Landuses and Buildings get a lot of different colors. Maybe too many, as it's not possible to remember all those colors. It's even hard for me, who I invented this scheme. So I want to restructure the colors.
Current Layout

|---|---|---|---|---|

| garden | leisure: common, garden landuse: meadow, farm, farmyard, vineyard, orchard natural: fell | |||

| natural/wetland | landuse: wetland, marsh | |||

| natural/heath | landuse: scree, heath | |||
| natural/mud | landuse: mud | |||
| natural/beach natural/desert |

For a polygon to get the building color the building=* has to be set to any value (beside 'no').
New Layout
I think it's high time to rework this layout. Also the structure of the menu in the side pane should be restructured. The category/path is indicated by the headlines in the table.
For landuse i made two categories, because in higher zoom levels (>= 15?) more values could be distinguished and indicated by an icon (like cemetery in the current layout).
Values marked with a * still need an icon for the thematic layers, you could help me with it. Best would be an SVG, sized 16x16, transparent background.
| Category | Landuse (low zoom) | Landuse (high zoom) | Building | Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Places - Nature & Recreation | ||||
| park | ||||
| garden | ||||
| forest | ||||
| Services - Gastronomy & Nightlife | ||||
| gastronomy | amenity: biergarten, restaurant, fast_food*, cafe, pub, bar, nightclub*, casino*, brothel*, food_court* | |||
| Services - Health | ||||
Future Ideas
In future also all Nodes, which fit into a category, should get a circle indicating their landuse. But this has to wait until Mapnik has a better way of rotating texts and images, because right now the housenumbers get moved away (the 4 should be on top of the green spot):
