Any GoogleMap-like style for OpenStreetMap?

Question

I have just built a tile server for OSM. I'm wondering if I could have a GoogleMap-like style shown in browser. If yes, how could I make it?

Interesting question. I've never seen an OSM style that attempts to mimic google maps. One suggestion for "how could I make it" is using TileMill: https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/ — Dan Stowell, Jul 02 '14 at 08:18
To answer the first part of your question: This is possible of course. You just need such a rendering style sheet. — scai, Jul 02 '14 at 08:21

I've found a style "OSM bright". I think it's a good substitution for google style. They are similar.

There are various styles that contains less details than the official OSM style and some that really look like Google Maps: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tiles

Now that I've downloaded a style sheet, how could I use it? Just replace the old osm.xml with the new one? – ShineSoleil Jul 03 '14 at 13:27
Yes replacing or patching the server config to use your new style instead. – MaM Jul 04 '14 at 17:57
