would it also be possible to have /one/ setting for /all/ POI-layers
(marker-layers)? At the moment it is possible to set a colour for each
marker-layer in the layer-menu, but everytime the name of the layer
changes (what means for me every time a load a marker-layer, as I name
them by date) it has to be set again. This leads, beside of being
annoying, to cluttering of the colour-table (they all remain in the
table).
