Does anyone know of an OsmAnd rendering style that resembles OpenCycleMap? It should highlight cycle networks with vibrant colors and fade everything else.

I tried to create an XML file for this using AI, but the result wasn’t what I wanted.

Update: I solved it by just using the online tiles from OpenCycleMap.

In response to a question a commenter named Jerry asked, I want to briefly explain my multi-phone strategy.
