Has the rendering for highway=footway on OSM-carto been amended again?
It’s hardly visible when there’s no background objects but with woods, fields, golf courses etc. it’s even worse.
Is the surface tag used to decide how it should be rendered?
Making it virtually invisible doesn’t seem very productive.
I thought it was just my eyesight failing me, but a colleague also commented on it. I’ve viewed it on a few different devices/monitors & they’re all the same.
I think it requires emphasising a bit more.

Yes, but this is the case since very long.
Unpaved ways are shown less strong than paved ways.

http://h32.atownsend.org.uk/sample_leaflet.html#18/40.36717/49.83358 is a small area rendered with the old style, if you want to compare.

Try that again - I turned it off last night because I needed the memory of the server that it was on for something else.
