title: Stop dimming / color change of overlapping placemarks on Google Earth
body: <p>I'm using Google Earth to display point data as placemarks. The data is on a color-coded scale, and so it's pretty important that they keep their colors (which are set via a series of differently colored icons)</p>
  
  <p>However, Google Earth seems to have a 'feature' whereby it dims some placemarks if they overlap. I can find no reference to this feature, nor any way to avoid it, turn it off, using KML or otherwise.</p>
  
  <p>The question was originally asked here:

  Where there are also screenshots of the problem.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
