Package: sgt-puzzles
Version: 8605-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Recently a change was made to slant that provides shading of filled squares.
However I find that the resulting checkerboard pattern of filled and
non-filled squares is distracting, preventing me from easily seeing the
bigger structures and making it harder to determine a next move.
Therefore I would like to suggest to apply one of the two attached patches.
The first and simplest one adds an environment variable to override the game
default and disable shading of filled squares. The second is a bit more
advanced and also allows runtime toggling of the shading by clicking the
middle mouse button or pressing the S or F key.
