## Map layers
By default the map shows the world’s political situation, but it’s not the only available preset. Open the first tab of the menu – _Style_ – to change the preset. _Preset_ is a set of layers to be toggled on. There are number of presets available by default: political, cultural, religions, provinces and biomes map, heightmap, places of interest and the pure landmass view. You can either select one of the presets or use buttons below to display or hide a particular label.

Some layers may not be visible if a upper (top) layer is toggled on. You can drag the layer button to change the layer's order.
## Styling and filters
There are cases when you may want to see several full map-covering layers simultaneously. The only way you can do it is to make the upper layer partially transparent. Choose the required layer from the _Select element_ drop-down list and change the opacity slider. Note that this may not work if clipping is enabled.

The same approach is used for styling all map elements. For example if you want to change the color of state borders, select _Borders_ element, then border group (type) and click on the color box to set a new color. Here you can also change border stroke width, its style and apply a visual filter. Different map elements have different styling controls. To restore the default style to all elements click on the counter-clockwise arrow next to the elements list.
