How to contribute styles

You can contribute style changes without editing any Python code using the following process:

• Download (or build) and open the most recent version of the project in QGIS.

• In the ‘Layers’ menu, double click on the layer you wish to edit.

• Open the ‘symbology’ tab.

• Make your desired style changes.

• In the lower-left corner, click the ‘Style’ dropdown.

• In this menu, select ‘Save Style…’

• At this point, if you’re uncomfortable with Git and GitHub, you can email us your style file at qgreenland.info@gmail.com. Otherwise, continue on…

• Save the style to qgreenland/assets/styles/<name>.qml directory of this repository or your fork. Keep in mind that styles can be shared between layers, so give the style a generic name instead of a layer-specific name where possible.

• Edit the relevant layer configuration file in qgreenland/config/layers and find the layer(s) you wish to apply this style to. Populate the style attribute for each layer with the name of the .qml file you saved in the previous step, excluding the file extension. For example, if you saved foo.qml, then populate style='foo'.
