[OpenLayers-Users] Change style of particular feature

[Andreas Hocevar]

If you want to set a symbolizer on a feature directly, don't give it
an OpenLayers.Style instance, but a symbolizer object literal, like
so:

layer.features[1].style.fillColor = "#DFDFFF";
layer.redraw();

Style instances are for use in StyleMap. And yes, this is awkward, and
if there wasn't KML which sets styles on features directly,
feature.style would be deprecated.

The modern way to do what you want to achieve here would be a Style
with a FeatureID filter in the layer's StyleMap.
