Something similar to this, but not exactly the same, has been mentioned before, so forgive me if you already know this:

In the "Lava" style, place a green "cone" down in various places. Look carefully, and you will see that the top left corner under the cone is always purple, even when placed on a pink square.

Strangely, in version 1.5, the top left square is always pink, and always placed on a purple square. As I have lost my saved games I cannot check Dugan's dungeon in the beta, but I think it will be a similar problem.

I assume it is because the "cone" is simply a graphic placed on the background, and does not change according to the position on the background. I expect a solution to this would be very complex, although I think it was right in Webfoot.

Anyway, it's not really major enough to worry about, but it does look a bit odd.

I agree. It might take a bit of work to get it working correctly.

Yeah, consider also that we will get around these types of problems later when there is support for scenery elements. Each scenery element can have its own separate set of drawing rules, and the editor won't allow placement of any element that can't be drawn correctly.

So I'm inclined to let this bug go for now.
