yeah, i did notice that the radar was a bit dark
I had a lot of trouble changing the color of the task icon buttons - whatever i tried seemed to mess with the alpha, but only in-game (looking at it in a gfx program looked fine). I wound up simply selecting the buttons i wanted to change and adjusting the color with the hue/saturation/brightness control in photoshop - anything more than that started getting funky results, but it's good enough
.
ps - if you check out the games section of my website, i'm working on porting over the ships i've made for Black Sky over to WW
