Whatever it is, it does correspond to the Norwegian Sea Weather Zone. I can't follow your diagnosis, though. All of the blues are the same through the tile_sprites, frozen, mud and zoom files. And these are the same as the blues in the stock files [:(]

The blue I downloaded from you is is darker (brighter) that the original stock files. The file I unzipped from you did not have the frozen or mud sprites, so the lighter original sprites seem to be referenced in the Norwegian Sea (why I have no idea). I checked other mods and the stock title sprites and all seem to have the same color blue for all sprites, except for ice.

Ok. Just thought of a way to figure this out. One of the map mods uses a very light blue for the title_sprites_frozen_xxxx.png. I just copied this file to the Bitmaps folder. I ran the game during a fall turn and the Norwegian Sea is a very light blue in contrast to the dark blue seen every where else. The Arctic also uses this light blue. Checked a Spring turn and everything except the Arctic is dark blue. You have done nothing wrong. The wrong title sprite must be miss-referenced in the programs code.

Jack made a modification to the Frozen file and sent it to me. It seems to fix the problem. I had previously tried putting the stock Frozen file into the 653R mod with no result, and the Frozen file was not changed for the 653R mod, so I have no idea what is going on, but it is fixed so that is all that matters. Thanks very much, Jack ! [&o]
