Alright, Windows 7 and Windows Vista will revert to basic display for some programs, has anyone tried this with Vista? I'm gonna do it later with my vista comp.
yes. and it worked fine.

I just tried it out.  It's a little laggy, but works fine aside from the other known issues.

This is awesome.  Are there any future plans of doing a complete frontend replacement with this?

In any case, the graphics switching to Basic Mode for a while isn't that bad. Mines turned to basic mode by default, better battery life.

I made two nifty dwarf fortress related discoveries today; the quick travel in adventure mode which makes it actually fun, and this nifty visualizer. Thanks for the latter!  ;)

Just tried it out. Not bad! Gives an interesting view of the fortress compared to other visualizers.

Would take a while to render the entire fortress :P We only see a small section at a time.

If I may make a suggestion, rather than having a border to differentiate tiles, I think the primary reason that floor tiles on different levels tend to look contiguous is simply because perfect cubes are used. if the shapes were a pixel or so taller, the floors would no longer be apparently contiguous.

I honestly don't get the point of displaying floors on the above Z-level in single-slice mode.  Wouldn't it be easier to just give the walls a distinct top texture?

very strange problem.

I'm on windows and I can only exit by pressing esc, or by ending the process. the close button is disabled.

I have same thing here on win7, but I'm not sure is it "problem" or it was made that way intentional for some reasons.
