I assume you're talking about trident here.

In the "old" trident fog was done at 75% brightness.  In the old 
isotrident it was at 50% brightness.  I have no idea why these differ.

The "new" code uses the isotrident method for both tilesets.  This makes 
trident fog 50% bright now too.

However with the blended code this is easy to adjust.  This patch makes 
this into a client option.  You'll have to save your options and restart 
the client after changing it (this could be fixed with a callback; I 
could write this if there's sufficient interest in this feature).

Note that the number of client options is becoming quite large.  GUIs 
really need to have a tabbed format that separates them by category.
