[mkgmap-dev] Can you set background colour in a TYP file?

yes, simply set background polygon 0x4b to a color (if using maptk watch 
out to set one pixel to something else, because usually if you go for a 
single color only maptk will put second color transparent and 
performance sucks, this is a bug in maptk, the online typfile editor is 
fine in this regard).
I like white (best contrast).
Black would be good only for maps used primarily at night, because you 
might save battery power, but readability is in my eyes still better 
with white.
