Hello,

I'm currently working on a "winter" map of the alps. For that, I would like to change the color of the hillshading to a light blue instead of the default black. Is this possible? And how?

Thank you,
crucco

    Crucco,

    The shadowing works by simply making the elevation-based color darker, so I'm not sure how it could be made blue. Do you maybe have a screenshot of how you would like it to work. I do have one idea (just make the red and green channels darker but not the blue channel), but I'm not quite sure how you want it to look. Or maybe I could just move the shaded areas closer to a selected shadow color (sorry I'm implementing in my head as I answer :)

    Thanks,
