Grand premiere! The new TCEC! Completely redesigned. Forum++

[Martin Thoresen]

The bad news: Users with screens narrower than 1280 px wide will not be happy.
The good news: Everyone else should be happy, including myself.

http://www.tcec-chess.org/index.php

The whole page is now 100% XHTML 1.0 valid, including the forum.

Looks nice, Martin. Two suggestions:
It's too dark - the Black Hole of Calcutta has more light, methinks.
the contrast between the text and the background is a bit low.

Too wide for my display. This I can tolerate OK. The darkness I can't.

Thanks Dave!

I'm a bit curious as to why it's so dark on your screen.

Are you using a laptop by any chance? And what is dark, exactly? The background?

I still use a (good: Iiyama) CRT screen, and it's pretty dark there...

[Martin Thoresen]

Okay, seems what people meant as "dark" was the grayish font used throughout the website.

I have now increased the contrast so it should be much easier to read. Let me know!

The color is fine, actually very nice! Only thing is the page does not resized, but not a big deal.

[Dave Mitchell]

Yes, that looks better. Thanks.

No, I'm not using a laptop. Samsung LED monitor, very nice and bright. LED and plasma screens don't have nearly as many steps of black to grey, however.

I can now happily report that I've coded like mad for the last 24 hours.

Everyone can now choose between "Large" or "Small" version
of the website by clicking on the buttons in the middle of the logo.

The "Large" template is the original 1280px version, while "Small" is 1024px.

Enjoy!

And please let me know of any problems you encounter!

PS: You might have to refresh and/or clear the cache for the function to work properly.

Best Regards,

Martin,

There is a cosmetic defect in the "small" template: the chess board isn't square.

Robert,

Yes this was because I actually edited the css in my backup folder instead of in my "live" folder, he he he.
The proper css has been uploaded so it should be fixed now.

Thanks!
