--animation-density=<value>
LW6_ANIMATION_DENSITY
animation-density
Type: float.
Density of the background animation, that is, for instance, if the background animation is about displaying bubbles, using a high value will display many bubbles. A value of 1.0 corresponds to the default setting.
--animation-speed=<value>
LW6_ANIMATION_SPEED

--background-color-root-fg=<value>
LW6_BACKGROUND_COLOR_ROOT_FG
background-color-root-fg
Type: color.
Defines a color which will be used together with color-base-bg to compose the background. It can be wise to have a minimum contrast between this color and color-base-bg, but it is not mandatory, especially if other colors are manually redefined. Will be automatically guessed from the map texture if color-auto is set. Can be #RGB, #RGBA, #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA.

LW6_BACKGROUND_COLOR_STUFF_BG

Type: color.
Defines a color which will be used together with color-alternate-fg to draw things (animations, sprites, text, whatever) in the background. It should be different enough from color-alternate-fg so that one can really distinguish these colors. Will be automatically guessed from the map texture if color-auto is set. Can be #RGB, #RGBA, #RRGGBB or #RRGGBBAA.
--background-color-stuff-fg=<value>
LW6_BACKGROUND_COLOR_STUFF_FG
background-color-stuff-fg
Type: color.

--color-alternate-fg=<value>
LW6_COLOR_ALTERNATE_FG
color-alternate-fg
Type: color.
Defines the alternate color, more precisely, its fg (foreground) part. Colors are always defined by a bg/fg pair. Most colors in the game can be deduced from this one, usually to color a map you only need to define color-base-bg, color-base-fg, color-alternate-bg and color-alternate-fg.
--color-base-bg=<value>
LW6_COLOR_BASE_BG
color-base-bg
Type: color.

--color-base-fg=<value>
LW6_COLOR_BASE_FG
color-base-fg
Type: color.

--colorize=<value>
LW6_COLORIZE
colorize
Type: boolean.
If set, then all background drawings including textures will use the bakground colors. This means, for instance, that if background colors are set automatically by color-auto from the map texture, then the background will adopt the same range of colors than the map itself. In short, the background will mimic the map.
--cursor-size=<value>

LW6_HIDDEN_LAYER_ALPHA
hidden-layer-alpha
Type: float.
Whenever players are supposed to be hidden behind a wall, for instance if they are in layer 2 and layer 1 is filled with walls, it's still possible to see them, but with a low alpha value (almost transparent). This parameter allows you to trick this value, 0 will make these players absolutely invisible, 1 will make them totally opaque, like if they were on layer 1.
