Interesting. How well do those decks perform? I know previously, odd transparency patterns on card images have led to some performance issues displaying the cards.

Cards appear to work without any issues at all. My main concern was how the visibilty was on smaller screens. I use a 32" monitor so there are no problems there. Download them and try them.
Given that we are not restricted by real world issues like shuffling, dealing, etc, we can use any shape or form as cards will always be shown correctly.

I've been using the Charles card set from http://www.andsa.de/en/pysol.html coupled with a teal solid colour background. I think it makes for a wonderful modern solitaire experience and I think it would be a fantastic default theme for PysolFC in the future if it's at all possible. I don't think there's any copyrights but I could be wrong.!

To be sure I'm copyright-safe, and out of respect to cardset creators, I only add new cardsets to the official PySolFC package if the cardset creator approaches me and offers it (unless I created it myself, or found a lost cardset from an older PySol release).
The biggest issue with changing the default is the fact that the cardsets collection is a separate project from the main release. You might not notice this if you installed with an installer or Flathub, as these include at least the minimal cardsets package, but it's difficult to make sure that people installing from a Linux distro's release or manually from code keeps them up-to-date. This is why I emphasized it so hard in the release notes for 2.15. If I'm going to change the default style again, I'd like to get a community consensus first.
Though I do agree - I've seen those cardsets before and they look nice.
