How to make a halo around the line of one pixel using OpenLayers?
For example, the line (vector) has a blue color and its frame (one pixel) has a black color.

Use strokeWidth : 1 and strokeColor: '#000000' on the vector's style
Actually, after testing what I said, turns out it's not that simple.
Looks like lines don't use the fill property at all and instead only use stroke.
So the only way I was able to do it was by cloning the feature and modifying the style. So you have 2 features.
Here's the DEMO

In demo i see 2 lines: black and white, without halo. I have an idea: draw two times the same line, only the second line will be slightly thicker than the first and will have a different color. – dedoki Jul 20 '12 at 21:15

For fixing proposed example use the same geometry definition for both lines. – drnextgis Jul 21 '12 at 16:47

Sorry, I put in the wrong DEMO link. Just updated it which should reflect what both of you (dedoki and drnextgis) are saying. – CaptDragon Jul 23 '12 at 12:44

In terms of web map cartography, this has generally been the route used by the most popular engines. I remember using this technique when styling maps in Tilemill which uses Carto. – Michael Markieta Jul 23 '12 at 15:05
