If anyone wants to look at the ldliterc.dat file, you can grab a copy at http://www.ldraw.org/library/unofficial/ldliterc.dat

Maybe it’s just me, but the parts on the tracker now seem to be very light. I looked at the ldliterc.dat above, and color 7 has the same setting as what is in ldconfig.ldr. However, the actual color being rendered seems too light. For example, here is an image from the part tracker:

Note also that the images on the part tracker didn’t seem to be so light before. Does ldglite do something weird with colors when it’s using ldliterc.dat, Don? Or are the internal ldglite colors perhaps all somewhat dark to counteract bright lighting parameters?
