<div class="gmail_extra">Hi Martin, <br><br>I think you should change the &quot;temporary&quot; style not the &quot;default&quot; style.<br><br>Maybe this works for you. I haven&#39;t tried<br><br>function handleMeasurements(event) {<br>

    var geometry = event.geometry;<br>
    var measure = event.measure;<br>
    if (measure.toFixed(3) &gt; 10000){<br>
      new_style_properties = {&#39;fillColor&#39;:&#39;#FF3300&#39;,&#39;<blockquote class="gmail_quote">fillOpacity&#39;: .5,<br>
&#39;strokeColor&#39;: &#39;#FF3300&#39;, &#39;strokeWidth&#39;: 2};<br>
      new_style = new OpenLayers.Style();<br>
      new_style.addRules([<br>
          new OpenLayers.Rule({symbolizer: new_style_properties})<br>
      ]);<br>
      var new_styleMap = new OpenLayers.StyleMap({&quot;<b>temporary</b>&quot;: new_style});<br>
      drawControls.handlerOptions.layerOptions = {styleMap: new_styleMap}<br>
    }<br>
