UI question (newbie)

I've looked at the options and preferences, and I've even read throught he MOD document, but haven't found an answer.

Is it possible to easily change the color used by the neighbors filter? The light blue used to show neighboring provinces is very difficult for me to see on some maps.

Currently no. Good idea.

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::

Not sure if you caught it but Kristoffer (the response farther down) is Illwinter. Well, half of it.

Ahhhhhhhh! Great! Still getting know who's who around here. Thanks.

Nice to meet you, Kristoffer O!

I guess for lurkers I should mention that Kristoffer O and Johan K are illwinter (the guys tha wrote the game). Johan O will often post and can be cosidered official also. He is Kristoffers brother. Its great that they are so active here and the patches definetly show they are listening.

Totally hack-thinking, and I guess I could test it quick before posting this but Im deep in other thoughts for now.

Did you try setting the graphics settings lower? Options, Filters, 1 or even 0. That seems to keep the game from using the full VGA pallete and smoothing out all the visuals.
