    89The mappaint style "Coloured Streets" makes '''working with addresses easier.'''
     
    1213Coloured Streets uses '''33 specially selected colours''', which are used on average equally often. In individual cases the same colour of adjacent streets may still occur. This is because of the limited number of clearly distinguishable colours and can not be completely eliminated.

    14 There are '''6 style settings''' for customizing the mappaint style. You can change the options in the ''Map Paint Styles'' dialog in the sidebar on the right side. If the dialog is not displayed you can activate it in the menu ''Windows''. In the ''Map Paint Styles'' dialog right click on ''Coloured Streets'' and then point on ''Style Settings'' (see also animation down). After you changed a setting the mappaint style updates automatically.
    15 
    16 * ''Allow addr:postcode on streets'': You can choose if you want to allow "addr:postcode=*" on streets and don't want to see a warning message for these cases. The default setting is: ''unchecked'' = not allowed = warning is displayed.
    17 * ''Support prefix and suffix on street names'': You can choose if [osmwiki:Proposed_features/Directional_Prefix_%26_Suffix_Indication name:prefix and name:suffix] for names of streets and associatedStreet relations are taken into account. The default setting is: ''unchecked'' = prefix and suffix are ignored = only the key "name" is analyzed. At least in parts of the USA and of Greece names of streets are divided into these components. By activating this option you get better results with Coloured Streets in these areas.
    18 * ''Display cycleway dashes'': You can choose if you want to see the coloured dashes of streets with cycleway=* and named cycle-/footways, which are part of the default internal mappaint style The default setting is: ''unchecked'' = the dashes are hidden because they can confuse you in Coloured Streets.
    19 * ''Display missing number message'': You can choose if you want to deactivate the error message for addresses with addr:street or addr:place but without addr:housenumber ("number?). The default setting is: ''checked'' = the error message is displayed. If you unchek this, the address is diplayed as if it has a housenumber but with a "?" instead of the number. This can be helpful in areas with a lot such cases and you are instead searching for missing addr:street.
    20 * ''Support associatedStreet relations'': You can choose if associatedStreet relations are supported. The default setting is: ''checked'' = they are supported.
    21 * ''Display a message if your JOSM version is too old for this style'': You can choose if you want to see a warning message if the version of your JOSM is too old for this style. The default setting is: ''checked'' = message is displayed. Actually you should update your JOSM if this message appears. But if you are somehow forced to use an old version you can disable the warning message to use Coloured Streets anyway. But be warned that Coloured Streets maybe doesn't work correct.
     15=== Style setting ===

     31=== Further information ===
    2232You need to use Coloured Streets together with the default JOSM internal mappaint style. In the List of mappaint styles in the preferences Coloured Streets need to be below the internal style (which means higher priority). The default mappaint style has also ''style settings''. It is recommended to check ''Hide icons at low zoom'' there for a good display (this also hides the text of nodes).
