There are two color setiings of tracks:
- Track recording menu: live recording
- Miscellaneous menu: all other tracks (imported, recorded, manually created)
Request: Could you create a separate color setting for "manually created" tracks?
Reason: When I am out flying, manually created tracks are important for flight navigation. It works great with a different color on the live recording, but when I save the track, the stored recorded track gets the same color as the manually created track and you can't easily see what is what.
BTW: Locus is fantastic for flight navigation: created tracks, airports as POI, time rings and distance rings (those are VERY useful!!!), offline maps, heading, bearing, guiding!!

Agree.
BTW. I know that I can edit the color of tracks afterwards, but then I have to do that on every single one. So it would be nice to be able to set a default setting. Just a wish.
You remember we talked about the dashed recording track, which actually was a bug. Now I realize that could actually be a nice feature, because roads on the map can be yellow, red, white, and map colors can be a lot of different colors. So bottom line is that it can sometimes be difficult to find an appropriate track color. So what do you think about having an option "Line style" just like you have "Color style" today? ("Line style also in the "Miscellaneous" menu).

Idea denied ...
since next version will be possible to define styles for track folders ("Category" are now renamed to "Folder"), so you'll be able to choose category which will also define style of track

Combined with new option to style track depending on accuracy that's a good solution for my purposes :)
