The clocks should be next to the live game board, whether digital or "analogue." And, the digital font sucks and isn't configurable. Someone playing or observing on FICS should easily be able to see both the board and the console at the same tie. And, when observing, I like to have the tree view of the database and/or an engine visible at the same time. It's hard with separate windows scattered all over. Something else to consider, .... I run two screens. The are pretty isolated in that I cannot drag windows from one to the other, they are displays: 0.0 and 0.1. By this means I have programs started from one display open on that same display rather than, as on Windows, choose one at random. Of all the desktop managers on linx around, FVWM supports the setup best, and that means testing on Debian or a derivative, or maybe Fedora. GNOME almost does it, but it has a bug or two. Anyone who wants to play with this but lacks the hardware can set up a virtual machine in, maybe, VirtualBox It would be useful to me if SCID* would allow me to open a new undocked window on another display. Maybe in future this could be extended to share selected windows remotely for coaching? -- Santa |
