I propose a thread where the budding graphics editor might ask his peers (and/or superiors) about... graphics stuff.

So first off: My meadow is littered with tree icons, signifying the cottongrass is blooming. However, I see no way to edit the blooming icon in the raws. Is this correct?

Do you know how the GROWTH_PRINT works? Because I really don't.
I see a lot of 5:5 or 0:6 as the first two numbers, and 5 and 6 are the club and spade tiles. So I think this could be related.
I think it's [GROWTH_PRINT:Tile:Tile:Fore:Back:Brightness:]

Edit.:
[GROWTH_PRINT:Secondary Tile:Primary Tile:Fore:Back:Bright:TIME:Number of Tiles]

TIME is None, All or Start:End. The numeric value for time seem to be 10000 per seasons. 0 to 10k for spring, 10k to 20k for summer, 20k to 30k for fall, 30k to 40k for winter.

Number of Tiles. If one or omitted, only the Primary Tile is used, if 2 or more, the Secondary Tile is also used. I still don't know how the secondary tile is used ingame. Or how 3+ tiles affects the game.

Secondary tiles could be used as the process from blooming to fruit bearing. I.e. the first tile is used for the flower, the second for the fruit.

Flowers and fruits are separate entities. And I've dropped a 0, it's 100k per season, not 10k.

I've figured it.
The first tile is shown above tree branches and twigs, the second tile is only shown if there is no branches or twigs.
Pine is '*':'*' and the first '*' is shown on top the standard twigs.
Deciduous are 0:6 and display the branches and twigs instead of the leaves.
Which means it is possible to associate custom leaf tiles for each type of trees. Sadly, I'm all out of tiles. TwbT to the rescue!

Mangrove flowers are displayed because they are 5:5 instead of 0:5.

Excellent. Many thanks, gentlemen!
