Hi PalestineRemembered_com

From within Google Earth, it is possible to set all elements the same within a folder

For example, right click on the "Gaza towns" folder and select the "style, color" tab to give you a screen shot like this



Then click the share "style button" which should give you this



Then click on the icon at the end of the "name" box to give this



and then choose an icon for all placemarks in this folder.

I've added a demo here for you to take a look at - http://bbs.keyhole.com/ubb/showflat.php?Number=668949 - this will be deleted in 30 days so won't duplicate this thread.

Hope this helps

PS I'd also read the help forum and user guide for other tips.
