Thanks for this. Your Paul_C piece set is quite nice. I have replaced the old pauls_pieces.tgz with your files/versions.

When I use 86x86 gradient textures, they are repeated when the chessboard is big, giving a kind of 3D effect (see screenshot). > > I have made some updates to Paul's: > > The script is now Windows friendlier. > I have added a third piece set variant, Paul_C. > > Files: > > Screenshot, Paul_C > All Paul in one > > > > > On 10.11.2016 10.48, lime...@mailup.net wrote: > > Hi SCID dev and users, > > First just want to say many thanks for SCID, it is really useful and has just saved my backside, allowing me to make a 7.82 million game PGN database and allowing me to generate, prune and delete duplicates in said database in sci format.

Is it possible to get other piece sets (e.g. Alpha) for SCID or import your own? And will we see more options for changing board colours in the future? It’s important to have a look that you really like, as you spend so many hours looking at it. > > Thanks, Ed > > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Scidvspc-users mailing list > Scidvspc-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/scidvspc-users >
