The dial painted its background as a full-bleed square, so inside the
rotor widget — which is already a card — it read as a hole punched in the
panel rather than an instrument sitting on it. It is a circle now, at the
radius the map already used, and the corners are left to whatever it is
drawn on. The wrapper loses its own border and background for the same
reason: one card, not two.
And the continents were barely there. At #202832 on a #0B1015 ground the
land was some eight per cent brighter than the sea — technically a map,
practically a dark square with a suggestion in it. The new shades read as
coastlines while staying well under the beams, which are what the dial is
actually for.
The palette stays deliberately unthemed. That was never the problem: a
map that repaints itself in four colour schemes stops being readable, and
the beams' green, orange and yellow have to mean the same thing in every
one of them.
