Map marks too dark?

Hi all!

First post, so be gentle :P

I've been playing SH5 for a bit (Did SH3 and 4 before, but a long time ago). I haven't downloaded any mods yet - SH3 and 4 are far enough back in my memory for me not to need mods to make the game acceptable for me, and I want to do a full campaign before I turn on all the mods and say "Oh wow."

As such, I know that an easy response to this question would be "download some of the UI mods" - but I'd like to avoid that if possible.

So, onto the question!

When plotting course to determine AoB, I use the map tools. I find that they're almost impossible to see unless the tool itself is selected - so if I want to see the angle on bow, I need to have the protractor tool selected - a great frustration. It becomes a bigger problem when I'm trying to accurately plot a course, as I'll put two marks down and then try to link them with the ruler - except if I have the ruler selected, I can't see the marks.

Is this a known issue? Is this something that can be fixed without mods? If it requires mods, does anybody known of a 'small' mod that fixes this only (or perhaps give me some pointers toward an easy modding tutorial?)

I did check the search function, but came up empty. My apologies if this has already been answered, and I missed the thread.
