Give a group a default fill style

All guides

A colour tints a group's pins, but a style goes further — it sets how a landmark's map area looks when it's resting, when the mouse is over it, and when it's selected. Assign a style to a group and every landmark in that group inherits it, unless the landmark chooses its own.

First, have a style to use

Styles are reusable and live on the Styles tab. Each style has three fills — Base (resting), Hover (mouse over, on desktop) and Active (selected / its landmark open). If you haven't made one yet, create it there first and give it a clear class name.

Attach the style to a group

  1. Open the Groups tab

    In the Advanced editor, open your map and go to the Groups tab.

  2. Edit the group

    Click Edit on the group you want to style.

  3. Choose a Style

    Pick your style from the Style dropdown, then Save and publish. Leave it on (No style) to inherit the map's default style instead.

How the style is chosen for a landmark

Mapvera resolves a landmark's fill style from the most specific setting to the least:

  1. The landmark's own Style

    If a landmark sets its own Style, that wins for that landmark.

  2. The group's Style

    Otherwise the landmark uses its group's default style — the one you set above.

  3. The map's Default style

    If neither is set, the landmark falls back to the map-wide Default style from the settings.

Style controls the fill of a landmark's map area (base / hover / active). It's separate from the group Colour, which tints pins and the chip icon. You can use both together, or lean on just one, depending on the look you want.
