Quick UI Q - increasing battle speed?

[Dragar]

As a new player I like to watch most of my battles to learn what's going on. I do get quite frustrated though at how slow things move - seems a fire bolt takes forever to make its way to the enemy. I couldn't find an option to increase the speed of the battle display, does one exist?

Press 'N' to advance to the next turn, 'F' to double the display speed.

Additional hotkeys are 'SPACE' for pause, 'W' for wireframe and 'G' for grid display.

Press 'f' for "Fast Forward". You can also lower your graphical details for better speed.

Speaking of this, is it possible to change the color of the wireframe background? The screen is easy to look at when the background is black, when you're fighting in a cave, but very difficult to see with a light blue background, which happens when you are in a snowy area.

IIRC, you can get a black background all the time if you run under the "-x" switch for minimal graphics.
