Feature request: customize board by game type

Note: please delete if this is a duplicate, because it seems obvious enough that it’s been requested before but I can’t find it.


Is there an easy way (not one by one) to customize the game board and stone colours by game type? For example, make all my ranked games B&W only, my rengo purple and my custom board games (for example 25x25) blue?

I think we had discussed at some point filtering current games, but I don’t think that’s happened either.

I haven’t seen this suggested before, but I can definitely see the value.

I expected it to have been @_KoBa but I think that’s because I had the memory of the hello kitty board :slight_smile:

Will the CSS thingie work on how the games show on my phone as well?

Unfortunately, I don’t know how to customize CSS on a mobile browser. Chrome extensions are for desktop only. Maybe someone else knows what the Firefox situation is?

I havent tried, but i doubt it’s better than Chrome. Mobile extensions are generally harder to come by

I guess what I was getting at with the old threads anyway was that past @GreenAsJade made some updates to make it possible even to have the customisation work with some custom css for example.

So in theory past @GreenAsJade did some of the work for someone else (maybe future @GreenAsJade if it was heavily requested, or someone else) to add in some preferences to make it a feature :slight_smile:

But to be fair, I don’t know how complicated the code for custom boards and stones is.

I imagine the code isnt so hard (as you pointed out, much of the work is already done), but the user interface would need to give some way to set this per-type.

Personally I think it’s a bit too niche of a thing to add to the interface (and why I think the CSS extension solution is nice), but idk maybe demand is higher than I think.
