Bug Description

For anyone who, like me, thinks that the buildhelp icons are a bit too prominent, I have prepared 50% semi-transparent versions to replace the existing ones in widelands\pics.
The mines may be a bit too hard to see, the rest seems okay to me.
The devs may decide whether they are to be included in a distribution.

Attached are screenshots of Astuur's proposed build help icons as they would appear in each of the four worlds.

I like the idea, but I think 50% may be a bit much as it almost makes it hard to see the icons, especially on the snow. I experimented a bit here with different values of transparency, but haven't reached a conclusion yet.

Also, I'm not sure how this is handled, but I guess the graphics team should keep the unaltered icons in case we need them later.

chuck, those comparision screenshots are always a great help (also in other bug reports). thanks for this extra work!

I feel those transparent icons are hard to see on some spots and the transparency looses its usefullness when decreased; I therefore prefer the current way. A clean map is just one space bar away.
