Objects on engraved floors have light grey backgrounds
« on: April 26, 2010, 01:07:15 am »

One thing that has always bothered me about engraved floors is that they are light gray as long as nothing is on top of them, in which case they are black. It produces a jarring visual affect that I find very, very ugly.

I would like to request that items on engraved tiles be grey-backgrounded, just like items on blood are red-backgrounded, and items on vomit are green-backgrounded.

Backgrounded probably isn't a word. Deal with it.

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.

This makes sense and I support it. It will in the very least let me know whether my engravers have gone over the tiles with stones on them yet.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Eric, I must know the story behind those words below where your avatar is supposed to be.

I agree 100%, and that is the primary reason that I don't engrave my fortresses(I do smooth though). I think I would actually prefer it if engraved walls had a black background too, since you can already tell that they are engraved by the symbols.

Oh, yeah, black would work too.
