Title: Wish list for the game client
Post by proof27h on Aug 24^th, 2011, 1:54pm

OK, one gets used to the client the way it is now. However - it would be way better if it were customisable, the way for instance BlitzIn and Dasher are on the Internet Chess Club. I for one would like to change the square colours and board size, and use different sets, different default values for sound and so forth. By the way, if anyone takes up the task, I could make a set or two of 2D pieces easily. I like those on BoardSpace, for instance.

I also think it would be cool if it were possible to customize the game client more. Perhaps certain customizations could be unavailable to new users and then unlocked after playing a certain number of (human-human) games or achieving a certain rating.

Simple things like this can make a big difference in how long people stick around. Climbing the bot ladder (without losing?) was a good enough challenge to get me hooked, but the more sub-goals and rewards along the way, the better!

I totally agree with rabbits.

I would like to allow sending url's through the chat window.

Now it has no meaning as it is not clickable and even cannot be copied to clipboard.

It would be helpfull for eee interface for 10 reasons:
1) providing link to the current setup position
10) providing link to a help page
