Thanks Hanish. I've adopted or tweaked all your changes and made a commit. (I've given the analysis boards identical coord setup to the main board, but making the font smaller). https://sourceforge.net/p/scidvspc/code/3485/
P.S. Thanks for creating the snap package. I think i recently had some correspondence about it. Do you include the %F arg (or similar) in your scidvspc.desktop file (ie "Exec=scid %F"). This allows opening desired files. Regards Steven.
