Possibly the thing your looking to change is in some default xml file or an exention, I can't remember.
As is, I agree with your post. The current fog of war or mask look like the brown paper bags you get from the newsagent if you bought a naughty magazine.

If I recall correctly, when I was re-skinning the 4E ruleset I noticed that the mask uses a transparency of the image frame background color.
In theory, you should be able to create an alternative version of the image window frame graphic and re-color the background to the color you desire. e.g. black would result in a dark grey(ish) mask. Note: this would make it quite dark for the GM to see tokens etc.
The image window frame used in 4E can be located at:

However changing the imagebox.png to another type of image, even with the file name being the same, didn't seem to have any effect.

adminwheel3,
Make sure that FG is using your customized ruleset. If you have the 4E.pak file in the FG application directory, then it will be used instead of any rulesets located in the FG data directory.
Cheers,

Maybe thats my problem - I'm not customizing any ruleset - I'm just changeing the file at C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Fantasy Grounds II\rulesets\4E_JPG\frames
from the normal imagebox.png file to the waterbased imagebox.png file.

If you have unpacked the 4E.pak file to app data/rulesets, to replace the graphic, make sure you remove the 4E.pak file from the program folder. This will ensure the unpacked modified version is used.
