Maptiles background #253
Description
Hello,
I created with the help of QGIS a very simple map in green for highlights (streets, building, outlines) and black for backgrounds (fields, places). A simple two colour sheme. After creating the tiles is saw how many black tiles were created for the backgrounds like fields or bigger places. These black tiles are alway 879 Byte (as .png with 256x256 pixel) big and there are thousand/millions of them depending how big the map and zoomlevel is. Every body of water and field of grass would contain it. For cities or a high detailed map it doesn't make sense. But for less important and less detailed parts it could save some space on a SD-card.
Now I was wondering if it could be possible to reduce the overall filesize by removing this fully black tiles. What probably would happen now is, that in these blank spaces without tiles the standard background with the zoom level indication would shine trough.
So my question/feature request is:
Is it possible/feasible do change the standard background to a monotone colour to match the deleted black maptiles?
sincerely
Torben
