Pollution Cloud Outline
Add the ability to outline the pollution cloud on the map. There are some conditions, with terrain color and redness, where it is hard to see the edge of the cloud. Example, some colors of the desert with the faint red edge of the cloud.

Pollution Border
I've have seen several suggestions about adding the ability to change the color of the pollution graphic either for desire or need (color blind). I support that suggestion, however, I think what most others like myself really want is something that outlines the pollution border. I think the current pollution overlay is great for glory and glory's sake. However, unless you zoom in on the more transparent parts on the border, you can't really see how far out it spreads at a glance. Even with some of the color change suggestions via changing the PNG file, it is still very transparent on the outside border.
The "pollution_glory" pic, from this view I can see I have a lot of pollution but not clearly how far it extends.
The "pollution_border" pic, from the same zoom level I can clearly see the border or range of my pollution.
In the "pollution_border" pic I highlighted the option in the F4 - Basic menu that allows me to see this. My suggestion isn't a literal translation of what this picture shows but rather the default pollution information with some sort of border on the outside. This border could be the chunk squares on the edge or simply a thick line as a literal edge outline.

I have sometimes also problems to the the exact border.

Re: Pollution Border
I agree, it could really use a boarder indicator of some sort when pollution is really low but still active. And this is all thats needed to trigger alien attacks.
