Hi there,

Since Grafana version 11.6, I notice that most of geomap marker’s icon have background circled glow of the selected color.

Only the icons under img/icons/marker seems to have no background glow.

Is this a bug related to the recent WebGL for geomap marker layers?

  • Use icons only from the folder: img/icons/marker/
    (These icons do not have the glowing circle.)
  • Or, make your own custom icon (SVG) and remove the background glow.
  1. Keep the background transparent (no color behind the icon).
  2. Do not add any filters like shadow, glow, or blur in the SVG code.
  3. Path where you add your custome icon
    /var/lib/grafana/public/img/icons/custom/

this is the webgl’s scatterplot-like rendering approach . You get a circle by default and your icon (if any) on top of it. Could be made transparent though (in code) . Check how full composition of circle+icon+text in webgl could look like play.mapgl.org

Ok, so this is the normal behavior of the new webgl rendering from now on. I will try to make my own SVG icon and to make it with transparent background. Thank you for yours suggestions :victory_hand:
