Dynamic Background Color

Description
Changes the play area's background color dynamically! On the surface, the color generally follows the status bar time indicator, gradually transitioning from one color to the next. Underground, the background becomes progressively darker the deeper you delve.

Works with new and existing saves.

It would be nice if the entire HUD color palette could dynamically change to fit background color.

Cool mod, though!

@dougdangles My game had a 50/50 shot on crashing upon exit before I downloaded my first mod, so it's seemingly just a problem with how it acts on windows.

I found that after a longer play session, the game will crash and I think I narrowed it down to this mod as I only had a limited number of mods to play with. It's heartbreaking because I love this mod. Also, my game never crashed on exit until this mod and now even after removal and reinstall, it now still crashes on exit. Possibly not related and just confirmation bias.

Sounds like crash on shutdown is a wider issue that I probably can't fix in DBC. Will fix the TurnsPerDay warning the next time I have to do an update - for now it should be harmless.

The game exits cleanly for me on Linux.

As kernalmethod pointed out it seems to be a windows issue.

FYI (because I noticed this mod is also getting comments about this issue): the “crash on exit” bug is something that appears to be occurring across all Harmony mods upon exiting the game on Windows. I have filed a bug report in connection with this issue:

https://bitbucket.org/bbucklew/cavesofqud-public-issue-tracker/issues/13473/game-consistently-crashes-with-minimal

I think that this bug is unlikely to corrupt a save but not impossible. The crash almost certainly would need to occur elsewhere during the course of a game; crashing on exit is unlikely to have any real negative impact.

Bumping Tassie Tiger's comment about the game crashing on exit- I've grown used to it that it's kind of part of the game's charm at this point but a fix would be appreciated anyways- I worry that the game crashing even on close could corrupt a save.

Same problem as @Tassie Tiger, an update would be appreciated, cheers :snowflakes:

good to know it's not just me

I did just find this line spammed a few times in player.log, not sure if it's what is causing crash on exit but maybe worth a look anyway
