Teema: Extinction Chess border
I'd like to repeat the frequent request for a colored border for Extinction Chess.

KotDB: When I did it, people complained about it. What color do you suggest?

Fencer: I don't care what color. Any color.

You say "people" complained, but as far as I can tell there was only one: Walter Montego. I agree with him, by the way, that the best solution would be to let each user choose a color for each game type.

In the absence of user-configurable colors, I think it's best to have a different color for each game with nonstandard rules or objectives.

It's true that we could function without any colored borders, by taking the extra half-second to look at the game name. But the current situation, in which almost every nonstandard game has its own color but one does not, is the worst system I can think of. The colored borders used for Berolina Chess, Ambiguous Chess, Loop Chess, etc., lead one to expect that any game without such a border is played with standard rules and objectives. And while it only takes half a second to glance at the game name, one has to make a conscious effort to do this.

KotDB heavenlyemma: And I'd like to repeat that I like the border as it is. I did suggest that Fencer enable the settings so each player could change the border for each game. Then you could have your pink border and I could have it as it right now.

Teema: Re: Extinction Chess border
KotDB: I would agree with you that games with the same board, but having different rules needs something like a different color border to make the game 'stand out' and tell you not to play the game like regular chess. Of course I've stopped playing Extinction Chess since when I start playing games, my eyes go strait to the board and don't spend the extra time looking closly at the name of the game - so I end up playing it like regular chess which of course is bad.

Since there is a small amount of players who do not like this game to have a different color, then what Walter Montego said would be a great suggestion.

Make a "chess board color" tab in the settings.

Have 3 options - (1) All boards with same white border, (2) default BK with each board different - having a different color picked for each game (default choice - like current, except all games having different color boarder), or (3) Pick colors for each game below

Then list each game with a drop down box that list 25 colors in which the person can go through each game and click the color they want for each.

Anyway, bottom line in my opinion - if the boards look the same, and the rules are different - there needs to be a different border color for each. To lose a game because you did not know what game you are playing is just stupid - it is a stupid way to lose, and a stupid way to win against someone else. To lose because you got beat in the game you are playing - then that is OK.

Jason: I think this is an odd comparison. Think of a situation where there are about 20 different kinds of fuels around which you may not mix - and you can easily determine which one to take by the color of the car. Except fuel No. 12 and No. 7 cars are both black.
