I can't stand vanilla textures as is. Forcing vanilla colours with no ability to edit in texture packs is just irritating, and the water just doesn't need a discolouration if you're not even going to bother smoothing it.
So once again, if Mojang fails to deliver something, someone goes ahead and makes a mod for it: Draradechs Swamp Color Reverter!
However, I would suggest continuing this petition anyway, since it just doesn't feel right to have a biome-color hardcoded. Finally having a mod is nice, but I'd rather have it editable via texture packs.
I don't think that mod is the fix that most people want
I'm not sure what all of the fuss about swamp ugliness is, exactly. Sure, swamps have a few beautiful locales around the world, but on the whole...they are ugly. As for the transitions, I don't think they're any more or less ridiculous than most of the transitions.

read the F(reak)ING OP! Texture packs are broken because of the hard-coded overlay.
Yes, I have. I understand the argument. But I really don't see that it's that "ugly", as it's supposed to be a swamp. Looks good enough for me.
Edit: In fact, I've just compared a few screenshots of the old and the new swamp textures...and I have to say that the original textures didn't even look like swamps. More like a series of weeping willows and puddles surrounded by healthy grass. (Puts on flame-retardent suit. Sound of a zipper and several snaps being fastened. His voice is muffled behind the thick oxygen mask.) I like the new textures better.

No offense, but we don't care if you like it or not. That's not the point. We want to be able to change how it looks, because it's just silly that we can't. It's also silly that it blends so horribly.

Seriously! Nobody cares whether on not some people think the swamps are ugly (I DO!) or not...The point is there should be a way to change the way the textures look. I've signed and would sign a million times more until this is fixed.
You know, I'm not sure if Twitter is working out. Jens seems to read his email though, perhaps someone could send the OP to him in one? I don't know the address myself, but surely it's somewhere.

Swamp transitions are a line. Other transitions are a gradient. Swamp transitions are between two blocks. Other transitions happen over several blocks.
And we should be free to decide what color swamps we want, just like we can decide to have pink deserts and orange fields. Making it editable in a texture pack would do just that.
I actually don't like finding swamps as the transition is so ugly, I'm forced to just move away from it.

Librari is: The Wizard formerly known as Genshou
And the terrain generator needs to be fixed or at least reverted.

I just want it to transition better
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
