I understand this feature request. Check out r1238, use context-sensitive menu on board pane, open "Board Options" dialog, disable the options "Show Piece Shadow", "Show Piece Contour", and leave this dialog with "Ok". > Secondly, is it possible to move the tree view and game list from the bottom > of the screen to somewhere else (eg, on the right hand side)?

Scidb still suffers from a tiling window layout, this is currently in development, and in advanced phase. > And finally I would like to offer my help as I am going into holiday and I > will have some free time to look at scidb code.

Many thanks for your offer, but I fear that "some free time" is not enough for doing development. You don't know the code base, and I'm sure that it takes some weeks to become familiar only with the basics. If you really want to participate, then use an IDE like Codelite - unfortunately I don't know a better one - and have a look into the code base, starting with src/db, and src/app. Note that I do not write commentaries, because commentaries are volatile, and it costs time to maintain commentaries, I have to manage about one million lines of code in total (only for Scidb). If you like to spent more time for development, then I will think about an appropriate task. Are you familiar with chess engine programming, in this case I would know a task with less setting-in period. I wish you joyous holidays!
