20080104 Monumental Change

Suggestion scope
Monuments

Suggestion description
On the 3x3 map view monuments appear as gray tiles, identical to theaters. I almost click on one today, mistaking it for a building. Doing so would have placed me outside instead of allowing me to continue free running.

Now I'm not saying this is a major problem. I should have paid closer attention. But it might be nice if monument squares had a unique appearance to distinguish them from buildings or streets. This would help prevent people from making a stupid mistake like I almost did, but it would also help them stand out, be a little more monumental. So it'd be nice as a flavor issue too - you can't tell me gray is the best possible option.

Perhaps have a diagonal line cross the square from the SW to NE corner or some other signifier. Nothing visually distracting or an eyesore but clear that it is not a building at a glance. Perhaps different monuments could have different appearances.

Parks are distinctive, why not monuments as well?
