Popped my GWX/Supermod cherry

Last night I took the plunge and installed GWX3.0 after completing my third patrol of my current career. It had been sat on my hard drive a while just waiting for me to get the confidence to give it a go, being the first time I have tried any mod for SH3. I'm very impressed so far and loving the extra detail and content that has been added - I can see why so many people recommend it.

However i'm also finding it very different to the point of it feeling like a new game after 4 years of intermittent play of vanilla SH3. One change in particular which i'm not sure about (but feel that maybe I should just "give it a go") is no longer having coloured contact markers to indicate whether friendly/hostile/neutral. If I do decide I want the colours back, is there a way of changing this, or even reverting map contacts completely to the old style?

Also, is there any way of increasing the resolution of the game? I've already discovered modifying the config file doesn't work, and the resolution fix utility appears to only support XP, unless i'm mistaken? (I'm running Win7x64).

Apologies if the answers to my questions are already elsewhere on here, but I have looked, used the search function, google, RTFM and pretty much drawn a blank.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can point me in the right direction, and also many thanks to the GWX team for giving me a "new" silent hunter game 3 months before I expected one!
