Thanks for the suggestion, Gandalf. That does help a bit, but only somewhat.
It's easy enough to work around for now - on most of the maps the background is dark enough for it not to be a problem. But sometimes on random generated maps (in desert areas) and especially on the Middle Earth map, they become nearly invisible. Of course, I'm not discounting the fact that my eyesight may just be getting worse, too.
Either way, it would be great if Illwinter or any modder smarter than I am about such things could come up with a way to select the color used. ::hint hint::
