    Nice work, Rob! Did you switch the Inner and Outer opacity on the realm backgrounds on purpose? It makes the map even more glowy. :)

    Ralf, Basically i've got it set up like this:

    background - background image taken from one of the annual star system ones..
    Star_Region_Low - Transperiancy - 60%, Blur - 80
    Star_Region_Mid - Trans - 50%, blur - 50
    Star_Region_High - trans - 50, blur - 40
    Star_Nation_Fill - Edge Fade, Inner - width 30, inner 30 outer 100
    Star_Nation_Outline - Glow - outside - 9,199,227 - strength 1 blur 2.000
    Jump Routes - Glow - outside, 172,241,255, str 1, blur 5, Trans 50.
    Symbols - Glow - outside, 255,255,255, str 1, blur 10
    text - nothing turned on
    text_titles - trans 50, glow same as jump routes.
    grid - trans 10.

    The three star region areas are the blues behind the star nations.

    The fill and outline should be obvious.. as should the rest. I've attached the fcw file.
