Hi Steve Was modifying things from yesterday's release, to send patch to you. But will checkout the new revision from SVN before sending any patch.
Also looking at the image, I can see a reason why there may be some differences in what we have been saying and inturn trying to achieve wrt visualisation themeing around this feature For me the default scidvcpc setup shows a more fancy chess set and also the lines are black with text also black on top & also shorter arrow lines, in your yesterday's commit. All of which makes the move visualisation theme (predefined line colour, line length) you had forced ;) in yesterday's revision non legible. I was about to submit a patch with blue longer lines and red text on top and also changing to bold font. Those changes were to make things more legible. However from your image it appears like now you have also changed the lines to blue & made it longer. So that should potentially resolve the confusion & conflict in our patches PS: yes agree the match is favouring Ding now, given that the cost of risk is lot more now. However it's Gukesh who is trying to add some spice into the mix. Given their positions wrt championship both their behaviours is understandable. Here in India, in general, we root for Gukesh, but equally love Ding :) On Sun, Dec 8, 2024, 08:48 Steve A <stevena...@gmail.com> wrote: > Ok, Hanish's feature is looking nice - nearly finialized - and is included > in subversion now. > (I've modified it a bit, so not exactly how Hanish envisioned it, sorry > mate). > Check out svn and after installation select "Show Board" and "Sequential" > in the tools->Analysis window. > Screenshot attached.
