Chess for Android board color

Post by wooh » Sun Aug 28, 2011 3:40 pm

Hi Aart,
would You please help in changing the board color of CFA so, that the dark fields are a lot brighter.
e.g. white and light-grey or even better white and light-light grey
Thanks for Your help.

Hi Wooh,
Under Menu->Options->Board Color you will find several optional board colors, including white-grey. Or are you saying you want yet another color as option? (if so, can you send me RGB definitions of something you like; some chess games make the squares RGB configurable, but I took the simple approach :-))

Hi Aart,
thanks for fast answer.
according to
http://www.houseof3d.com/pete/applets/tools/colors/
I am looking for FFCCCCCC for the dark fields
and FF000000 for the light fields - this works very well
as eye-pleasant when playing
Regards

I hope this does not open a floodgate of RGB requests, but I have added your color as light-grey in the board color options. Expect this in 3.0 (coming very soon!).

Why do I have the uneasy impression there is a feature request hidden in this comment?
