[GRAPHICS SUGGESTION] Ugly FOW.

from Elemental Forums

I just really HATE the black FOW. It looks aweful, and goody huts and other objects inside the "first" part of it are outlined wierdly.The D'ni-plague-gas-brown coloring we had before was not GREAT, but it was better than this. I personally would prefer a white or grey coloring, or perhaps something that looked like fresh parchment.

I'd go for the fresh parchment look, possibly with terra incognita or something written on it.

Did you just make a myst reference?

Yep. Book of Ti'ana.

I'm guessing that picking black for terra incognita gives the devs more flexibility with the cloth map pallette, which needs to carry quite a bit of quickly discernible info. Already got two major sepia tones with land and water, a third one could make things messy...

Internally it's already been changed to let the user select an opacity slider.
