Hello, I’d like to notice that paths/footpaths display terribly thick. Their thickness is almost like residential streets.
Hi,
Can you give me a Screenshot of the area in question, incl the Permalink from OSM – thanks
Basicly the paths in Elevate/Hiking are drawn nearly as wide as Tracks cause these paths are most important for hikers and on a smartphone in sunshine the paths have to be visible without glases and hiding in shade.
Their thickness is almost like residential streets.
In hiking map style paths are exactly half as thick as residential streets
As Christian wrote, paths are the most important ways for hikers. That’s why they are emphasized in the hiking map style, and that way it’s easier to the their location, color and dashes.
If you want something slimmer and less obtrusive, try the city map style.Developer of Elevate mapstyle
This is link to the area: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/51.09608/16.99208. The screenshot is with Element theme and Elevate looks the same.
Looks as expected. But as written above, try the city style. Hiking isn’t made for this, so horses for courses.

Thank you for reply. One more question: Is there a way to make colors of the map more vivid?
The background colors in Elevate are muted on purpose, saturated colors are restricted to routes, paths/cycleway/some roads/POIs/captions, so that these are easier to distinguish in bright outdoor conditions. If you want more vivid colors, you could try a different theme, or some apps have a function to change colors, like map color mode in Locus with high contrast setting.
