I frankly thought the SA tileset was awful so here's a better shot at it. Use with 800x300 or 800x600 size. Don't forget to convert it back to BMP.

Thank you, I'll test it.

EDIT
My comments:

The squares are kind of nice, but they were too small in my computer. I only tried windowed mode, though, but the wide view doesn't suit my monitor that well.

The new furniture symbols are too small. I can't make out a bed from a box with a glance. I didn't realize what a bed was at first! Fullscreen, it would have looked better for sure - but as for now, I'll stay with my own, only slightly altered bmp. I can read it faster.

I didn't like the beardless dwarves, but I take it some people didn't start with the the 800x600 resolution bmp, and thus got accustomed to beardless dwarves.

Adventure mode is playable, but again small. Also, some bodyparts had a symbol that looked like a triangle divided in three parts. I might've been supposed to be a tree or something.

The 'divided triangle' is refuse and it's supposed to be a swirly poo.
