How do you use the Legend?

If you go to the "Map" the legend in the top right seems a bit confusing.
For example, there is this option "Land for Sale" with a yellow square next to it.
I have a bunch of price tages (or money bags?) all over my screen which are weirdly positioned (makes it a little hard to tell what's for sale, personally) but nothing is showing up yellow.
Or purple for that matter, but I guess that's because nothing is up for auction?
Interestingly, orange works.

Legend shows the colors on the display as it does in the land for sale tab in 1.6 (just different colors for 1.7) when you tick the land for sale tickbox it will overlay the colored displays as you saw as in 1.6, whats happening in 1.7 preview is probably due to them not all being generated or some tweaking, the $ ticket items you can click on and it will give you simple details or of you double click on them it will open the find menu and take you to that item in the land sale menu, but under those tickets you should see yellow, where you would see white in 1.6 now

You might have to zoom in to see the land colors as well.
I requested that the land colors be put under "Land For Sale" and perhaps be shown/hidden when the option is ticked. But I guess they can't or wont do that. :/
Seems to be a bit confusing as it is now since we're used to the land colors at the top being present when you click a tab.

Im not sure when the images are created for the land for sale, they are overlayed onto the map pics.

the $ signs are annoying and should be an option over the yellow layer...you cant see public land or anything

oh I love it! Having to zoom in sucks a bit, but it makes perfect sense from a technical point of view. But boy is it ever so sweet to be able to click on the $ and see the price... hoo boy! Actually, I take that back. The zoom in feature is sweet because you can zoom out and see what you're buying, terrain wise. It's a bit confusing, but once you figure it out, it's very sweet indeed. Nice job, guys! (good luck explaining it to people  |
