That seems to tell me how to make water blue, which isn't what I want.

What I'd like is for the diagonal stripes (on pools) and cross-hatching
(on sumps) to be visible at scales like 1:500 rather than just appearing
as solid black.

I'm guessing the problem is that the distance between the diagonal lines
scales with everything else so they're just too close together at a
scale which is significantly smaller than those the therion developers
tend to use themselves.

Cheers,
    Olly
