Actually, this'll get fixed with the next version.

In the past, I've only kept bright sand for the brighter water.
In the next release, we'll be using the old numeric tiles for water,
so sand (and subsequently mud and vomit) can be nice and dark.

Thanks. Another question: why is the height of the window fixed even when I enlarge the application?

isn't it obvious?

Hmm, no more shiny water?

No. Much MORE shiny water. If I understand correctly, Ironhand is replacing the tiles for 1-7 with different water-tile symbols, which change/swirl as the water level changes.
This can be done since we are moving to true-type fonts: the game won't actually need these tiles to display numbers in the game.

Yup!

It's gonna be awesome.

And yeah, the fixed menu height isn't something we can change, unfortunately.

[Aklyon]

If it was, it wouldn't be called fixed

While I'm not sure I agree with the idea of using seven whole tiles on fluid levels, I got to thinking:  are we sure the 1-7 fluid tiles aren't going to be displayed as numbers via the new truetype system?  I monitor this thread, but I didn't see this talked about, and I haven't seen mention of a place in the raws to assign graphics to the current fluid levels.

He's got a point there.

Quite a pointy point there too..

Hopefully Baughn is reading this and can give us some feedback?

[Baughn]

They won't be. Truetyped, that is.

There are separate calls for inserting strings and inserting single characters. The map-drawing code uses the latter; anything to do with truetype uses the former.

[Moonshine Fox]

Zzzzplendid! Can't wait for that.

[Vibhor]

Is there a brighter version of this pack?
I like this one but cannot take the darkness

[ungulateman]

Try a different colour scheme.

There's some on the wiki. Hell, I changed my colour scheme to one of the darker "Natural" schemes because I like my DF slightly oppressive-feeling and gloomy.

I would suggest to invert primary/secondary colors for trees. Right now whenever a tree goes orange/white (autumn/winter) its secondary color is gone and you are left with weird-looking leaves. It's easy to make, Ironhand .
