Styling the map

Complexity controls the layout; the look is yours. None of this changes the process.

Set in the Inventory, from fixed palettes that read well by day and at night:

EntryColour shows onAlso
Classthe cards of its stepsan icon
Objectits lines and dots
Tagits label
Laneits stripe and name
Stage note typeits notes’ top edge

Colour carries meaning best when it is consistent: one Class colour per team, one shade for every money Object.

  • Lines of text: how many lines a description, condition or Object name may take on a card. Longer text ends in an icon; point at the text to read it all.
  • Spacing: Tidy, Normal or Spacious room between cards.
  • Flow direction: Left to right or Right to left.
  • Simplify map: reorders outputs on the map so lines cross less; the editor’s order stays.

The theme (Light, Dark or System) is in Your settings, under your picture.
