How to modify the radar items, colors and icons?

Hello. I love the radar function, but I am having a little trouble.
Currently the radar is showing all black, and the buttons on the top left are all black and I only know what 2 of them do, Zoom in and Zoom out.
Can someone please tell me how I can fix the map so it is not all black and how I can modify the colours, filters (only mobs, only resources, etc) and if I can modify the font or icons for better readability.
Many thanks to the devs!

The other buttons don't do what was intended.
The 3rd is a Toggle, which will minimize the radar. I can't work out quite what the intention was behind it, but it seems to do something else if it is in overlay mode.
The 4th button should swap between windowed and overlay mode, but the overlay mode doesn't work, and just swaps the colour to white, which is harder to see. The radar control needs to be modified a bit for the overlay to work.
The 5th button is an options button, but there are no options.
The control needs to be updated as the buttons are taking on the colour of the form.
And currently there is not enough information being fed to the radar to support colours, although it is possible.
Font changes are an interesting idea, as well as filtering. Colours have been looked at to closely match the game colours when the Names are floating above the heads.

Thanks for the reply!
Are those features something they will implement or will they just be as ideas ?
Is it possible for us to customise the map details, fonts, etc through a settings file or thats a locked dev-only thing ?

Idea's at the moment, although a test version of the radar has colours.
Will add a request to be set font, colours and filters.

Thanks a lot.
Would be nice if we could add some colours and filters, because at the moment critters share yellow with normal mobs, resources are grey just like roadsigns and non-interactive items, etc
All this makes it very difficult to read out easily on the map.
Would be a great addition for the bot!
