Yeah I'm not sure if that is the default Som lighting or if it is also dark because of the ambient lighting in DoM. I don't have any trouble making it out, but I can definitely see how someone could, especially on a CRT display with a poor gamut. I tried to increase the brightness option only to be reminded it doesn't work yet in window mode (something I guess I need to get cracking on)
I keep the brightness for DoM on 4, so I don't know if that is darker or lighter than in that screenshot.... if you literally just see black I will try to manually brighten the image and post that too eventually. The basic idea though is without this effect the water sheets would be blazing on the image and have a stark outline dominating the black space. A before/after shot might be worth something. I will try to do that later with two windows open :D
PS: The icon is missing from the window because of a Windows bug I just caught where if the game starts in fullscreen (undecorated window) the icon is never drawn to the titlebar even after it comes out of fullscreen. I fixed that anyway, but just in case anyone is wondering. I gotta say Som is so much less cheesy with just this fix (the fog / not the icon!!)
