Suggestion for more options

[DRG]

We are looking at allowing as an option one of the first ten "colours" of the game palette to be chosen for people who own the game. They are all gray-scale so the range would run from full black as default to light gray. I have experimented with those tones in the code and have found that , depending on the map type and terrain ( and your monitor and the condition of your eyes... etc ) , can produce more subtle grid lines that are still there but not BOLDLY THERE. We haven't delved into it beyond a basic test or two but we are thinking it would be offered as a secondary option for the grid on/off hot key. With a choice of 10 tones there would be something for everyone.

I like the sound of that! - I tend to play with the grid off because I DO find it a little too "boldly there". Obviously not a massively high priority fix but a definate "it-would-be-nice-if".
