(Monster glyph adjustments v2, of 2008-02-12), with one small exception: I deemed yellow too bright for quokkas (yellow being the DANGER! sign of, among others, killer bees, death yaks, and Sigmund) and chose white instead.
For a complete list of changes see docs/monster_glyphs.txt, which also doubles as options setting for init.txt.
I wasn't sure what default path to choose for the include option, so it'll probably have to be adjusted for it to work. (The message history shows an error message if a file to-be-included can't be read in.)

Also, the colours of some pairings# including small snake/snake and yaktaur/yaktaur# have been switched, following the same rule.# Another important point of the change was to avoid# the use of dark grey, which can be unreadable on some# systems, and use light grey, white, or blue or another# colour in its stead, as appropriate.## We think that as a result of these changes monsters# are coloured more consistently, and that their# difficulty level should be easier to grasp for newbies.# At the same time we realize that this change might be# hard on experienced players. Of course we hope that# you will be able to adapt, but in case there are# changes you really cannot accept, here are the options# necessary to make the glyphs of all affected monsters# show up as they did in version 0.3.4.## You'll find a table comparing old and new settings at# the end of this file.############################ features###########################feature = granite statue { , ,
