I am looking in the manual, and it seems that the game used to have a darker colors and different icons which appear nicer in my opinion. Is it possible to switch to this style?

In the DAT folder there is a folder called "Artbackup" which contains all of the legacy graphics. In that folder there is a subfolder called "MapArt" that contains the legacy map files.

You can pick and choose what you want to copy from those folders into the actual game art folders DAT/Art and DAT/Art/Mapart.

Before you do this, you may want to copy over the current game art into it's own backup folders in case you change your mind. There is a DAT/Art/Artbackup folder that you can swap these into. They currently contain duplicate legacy graphics which can be overwritten.

How are you running the game to have such clear text in the target list at the bottom? The ones in my game looks so blocky!
