[OpenLayers-Users] How do I get custom markers per layer

[David William Bitner]

Here is one way that I have used.
http://www.dbspatial.com/js/ol/examples/georss.html

You can find the multi-color icons in
http://www.dbspatial.com/js/ol/img/

The code that does the color switching by color name is in
http://www.dbspatial.com/js/ol/lib/OpenLayers/Layer/GeoRSS.js


It ain't too pretty, but it worked for me.
