Options->Text Contrast->Standard did the trick, thanks a mill! Also sorted out the graphics overlay issue (at least in this case).rhinobones wrote: Sat Jun 08, 2024 1:24 pm #1 In the Editor Text Contrast has been set to "Maximum". Recommend that you try "Standard" or "Highlight".

Sorry my answer a bit confusing, Didn't 'sort' it, it was just that changing to standard text contrast also got rid of the overlay problem, or the background now gone (letters only now) just didn't run into it so no conflict.

There are a couple of posts with maps, not sure which one you are asking about. My post from Sat Jun 08, 2024 6:24 am is just the stock graphics which come with the game. All the other map graphics need to be downloaded from the associated web page. Which page and date are you looking at?

Sorry, but I’ve been using my own preferred graphics for so long that I’ve forgotten what the stock graphics set looks like.
The attached zip folder contains many of the custom graphic mods which I use. Suggest that in your Graphics Override folder you create an Arracourt 44 folder and place the contents of the zip folder inside. When you fire up Arracourt 44 the new graphics should appear. Keep what you like, trash what you don’t. I believe that one of the key features of TOAW is that we have quite a bit of latitude when customizing.
Note that there is a folder within the zip that contains an alternate set of unit counters. These were designed to be used with pre-NATO scenarios and are purely optional. The AAR Two Weeks In Normandy uses the alternate unit counters. Also note that these are just some of my personnel graphics and there are many more available for download. The “Best of both Worlds” graphics set is a wonderful collection of customized graphics which deserve attention. Suggest that you take a look and use in your games as desired. You can create a folder within Graphics Override for individual scenarios and build a custom set of graphics for each scenario.
