What if I told you it was possible to play without a grid on ogs?

Great! Thanks, @Tesujitarian and @Atorrante

Actually, you just need to press this button and it will work. You can choose different image that you want.

@Tesujitarian

Nor you, nor that poster took enough time to understand that it’s not the same. It proposed a compromised solution that doesn’t achieve the same result.

@stone.defender

and no star points

It was clear to them and me as well.

@Tesujitarian

Additionally it tries to do the thing I did in more steps, not less

If you want exactly the background you proposed it’s less steps. But if someone wants a personal color, they’ll have to make an image with a transparent border, right?

But the main thing was that I questioned why you saw it as a comment at your expense, because I didn’t see it as such and I didn’t want you to stop posting here over a misunderstanding.

Board backgrounds library

Now that we support custom board backgrounds, I thought it might be nice to share your favorite boards so others can also try them out. The tutorial on how to change your goban background is here. To keep the thread readable I would suggest: ⬤ Be sensible, and only share backgrounds you really think are nice ⬤ Make the thumbnails small (hover over the preview and chose 50%) ⬤ Share the link to the image in a code field like this - select the link and click the following icon in the top of th…

I think the observed behavior (in terms of the method that @Tesujitarian suggests) may be unintended behavior (but let’s call it a feature rather than a bug).

I was able to reproduce the steps to get the grid (but not the star points and coordinates) to disappear on Chrome, Firefox and Brave, but it seems that the specific steps need to be clarified:

1. Select the customized board option:

2. Click on the reset grid color button:

Notes:

• You do not need to upload a custom image to get this to work.
• Just clicking on the reset grid color button does not seem to work, if you instead have a preset board theme selected (i.e., there is no “blue box” indicating that you have selected the customized board option).

Here’s a fun background image to use for 19x19 with no coordinates:

Just in case it isn’t obvious: in this case, you play inside the lines, not on the lines.
