@jcl: Right, I was pretty sure they looked a little different in previous versions, but they don't, so sorry for that. 3D BEAM (/ STREAK?) particles seem to be a little darker, though: When I write a loop in partice_trail.c with "particle_mode = 2*key_space", the brightness of the particles changes when I press space.
