Skyboxes & Filters
Skyboxes and filters can change the way the world around you looks. Some are unlocked by default while others require quests or achievements. Want a real challenge? Try playing on Magic Toad mode.
You can open the skyboxes and filters menu by right clicking on the world map icon on the bottom right of your minimap.
High Contrast Mode
High contrast mode is an accessibility feature which can be toggled on or off at any time. It is especially useful to help distinguish between object types in cluttered areas.
By default, some entity types share the same highlight colour. If you would like more distinction, you can change the highlight parameters of each object type in the entity highlight settings.
