    Turn off "Snow" Option

    When I was using the ZQuest Alpha, I noticed that there was a "snow" effect on blank screens of a dmap (The little box in the lower left-hand corner). It seems to slow down my computer a bit when this effect is on. Would there be any chance that we would be able to turn it off?

    I find it a bit annoying, and it makes it harder to see the other screens.

    What if I make it an option to only update the snow once per second (for slower computers)? Thoughts anyone?

    I'd rather just be able to turn it off. I know the idea was that this way you can see the rooms no matter which color they are, but for the most part I also find it distracting.

    True. I like the snow myself but sometimes my computer lags when I'm playing a MIDI through zquest and maybe the snow helps contribute to the lagginess. but it would be nice to make the snow "stop" animating and just to keep it as one static frame there in zquest. I like it for the fact tht it let's me locate used screens when the screens have somehow been colored black on that minimap at the bottom corner.
