***Note to anyone just reading this:
If you're interested, I decided to post this issue in the ZC Bug forum to see if I can get the attention of anyone up in the ranks (hopefully DN) and get my question answered whether anyone has attempted to or plans to fix this bug. Read on if you'd like to see what was covered so far...

I just spent an hour digging around through the ZC forums for any information on the bugs with dark rooms (dark room flag doesn't work when you first enter the dungeon, doesn't darken rooms again after you enter\leave item rooms\passages, etc.) and couldn't find anything on it other than another comment someone else wrote about. I then spent another ten minutes reading through DN's fixes for the latest version he's working on... and I still don't see anything about this bug. Is DN aware of it? On one of the maps I'm making, one of my Dungeons themes is completely dark (and rather amusingly, the treasure you're after in it is the blue candle), but after entering one of the item passages and returning to the main room, the dark flag no longer seems to be noticed by the game engine. It's going to drive me crazy!
Anyways... this is my first post to this forum, yes, I'm new here, I didn't know about Zelda Classic until a week ago and I feel completely stupid because I fell in love with that game the first time I played it when they still sold it in stores... and always dreamed about something like this... and here, five years or so after it's been around, I finally find out about it. Ah, oh well, glad I found it at all. Now I can fall in love with it all over again. Nice to finally join the rest of you fans!
See you around the forums! *Crosses his fingers and hopes someone will pull a fix out of their hat*
