[Qgis-user] ugly results with new symbology: how to improve them?

[Mayeul Kauffmann]

Hi,

See below .qml file which gives a more pleasant result.
For those who might not know how to use this: copy-paste the following
in an empty plain text file and save it as mystyle.qml
Then in layer properties, click on button to open a style.
Should work with 1.7.0 as well.
