You may have never noticed this (I certainly didn't) but the biome legend colours in the Random World Generation Preview screen don't match the colours of the biomes displayed on the preview map. However, Reddit user KaldaraFox noticed!

And they took to Reddit to inform us that this could be an issue for 8.5% of the population and to request some assistance to correct it.

Well, this mod does exactly that, matches up the colours on the legend with the colours displayed on the map.

A simple mod in the end. I'd like to make it a bit cleverer so that you can tweak the colours of the biomes and it automatically changes them on the map and the legend, but for now we'll settle with just matching up the legend to the existing map colours.

Just 1 file to mod: XUi_Menu\windows.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<windows>
	<!--Snow-->
	<setattribute xpath="//window[@name='worldGeneration']/rect[2]/rect/grid/rect[1]/sprite" name="color">96,96,96</setattribute>  
	<!--Forest-->
	<setattribute xpath="//window[@name='worldGeneration']/rect[2]/rect/grid/rect[2]/sprite" name="color">24,34,24</setattribute>  
	<!--Desert-->
	<setattribute xpath="//window[@name='worldGeneration']/rect[2]/rect/grid/rect[3]/sprite" name="color">96,86,50</setattribute>  
	<!--Wasteland-->
	<setattribute xpath="//window[@name='worldGeneration']/rect[2]/rect/grid/rect[4]/sprite" name="color">97,67,25</setattribute>  
	<!--Water-->
	<setattribute xpath="//window[@name='worldGeneration']/rect[2]/rect/grid/rect[5]/sprite" name="color">20,20,193</setattribute>  
</windows>

Pretty straight forward stuff again. The xpath matches each of the legend entries via position since they aren't labelled with ids, and changes their colour to the one from the map (which I grabbed via the useful Windows utility ColorPic.

An improved version of the mod would allow the setting of both the map and legend colour, but for now this will at least bring them back into sync.

• v0.1 - Initial release on A21 that changes the legend colours to match the map.
