The window tileset in most inner maps are either white or bland. And even there is a view within it, you can’t change the view in the way you like or wish to.
So, ever wonder how to have a panorama view like starlight view or mount view through the window? & you can even use switch control to change the panorama too! All you need just a small editing to the map tileset using ms paint exeor any other pain tool.
let’s see before and after transformation
Before (Normal castle in map tileset. The windows are small, white and bland).
After (With a small editing, you will able to change the view into different panoramas and it makes the games more 'alive.')
