Solar System map turned to black and white.

Hiya!

So, here's my problme. The first time that I logged into Eve, I noticed that the Solar System Maps had some snazzy graphics behind them, making it look like you're actually looking at a Solar System in space.

After I started the scanning tutorial, the Solar System map changed to just a plain black background with white concentric circles.

I was wondering if it was possible to get the map with graphics back through some sort of setting, since it's really dull scanning on just the flat black map.

I've tried clearing my cache, resetting all of my settings through the launcher, and reinstalling the entire game, but to no avail.

Anyway, here's what my map USED to look like while scanning:

Full Graphic Solar System

and here's what it looks like now:

Plain Solar System Map

I put in a petition about it, but they don't seem to be addressing the right issue, since so far they've told me that I need to have the left hand icons unchecked and all the right hand icons checked in the map control panel (which they already were, I can see icons fine, it's all just flat black and white) and that I might've been looking at the 'Star Map' instead of the 'Solar System Map' earlier since the star map is 'prettier.'

I can still use the map and see the appropriate icons, there just aren't any snazzy graphics and everything looks very plain, which makes it horribly dull to scan. I have all of my graphics setting on max, so I'm not sure why the Solar System map is kaput.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

tl;dr - How do I get my solar system map from looking like this: Plain Solar System, to looking like this: Full graphic Solar System?
