Example on how to add a 160 board size: 1) Open the tcl file (scid.gui for windows, scid for linux and mac) 2) Change the line set boardSizes [list 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 80] to set boardSizes [list 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 80 160] 3) Assuming that you want to use the default "Merida1" piece set, add a file "img/pieces/Merida1/Merida1_160.gif" with all the 12 piece type (6 white + 6 black) of size 1920 (160 * 12) x 160 pixel. 4) Assuming that you want to use the default white-blue board background, change the lines: bgl$size copy $boardfile_lite -from 0 0 $size $size bgd$size copy $boardfile_dark -from 0 0 $size $size to bgl$size copy $boardfile_lite bgd$size copy $boardfile_dark
When you restart Scid the new board size will be available (no need to recompile). I agree about the log scale. Let me now if you need some other help.
