I use the Mike Mayday tileset, and after upgrading to the latest version of Dwarf Fortress, I noticed that engravings are now icons of what the engravings are, instead of just a normal wall with a different coloring. While this is an interesting feature and I can see how people would enjoy it, I don't enjoy it very much at all. Is there any way I can disable this?

Also just a side note, has the Mayday set changed it's O character? I remember it being a little more detailed, and it looked better in constructions.

There should be an option to hide engravings in the (d)esignations menu, as for #2 I don't use a tileset, so I dunno.

The "O" character for free-standing smooth walls can be customized in d_init.txt - [PILLAR_TILE:'O'].

Thanks guys!

Also, is it possible to engrave on constructed walls?

[Victuz]

Nope you can't engrave on constructed walls. That would be too beautyfull (ahh finally having engraved ONE COLOR rooms)

[Untelligent]

Nope.

Actually, engravings have looked that way by default for a long time (since the 2D version, probably). The difference is that Mike Mayday's graphics set comes with its own init file instead of directions on what bits of the init file to change to get the graphics to work, so you get the settings Mike Mayday uses when you use his graphics set. Maybe he changed that recently.

As of when i last checked (please correct me) there is no 'official' .16 Mayday set.  He seemed to drop from his thread a bit and some fans made DIY versions (which were even bundled into LazyNewb pack).  This could explain slight differences you see.

I actually did not use Mike's d_init and init files. I'm on a Mac, so I ported DFG to that. I didn't want to completely overwrite my init files with his in case .16 has some new things.
