I understand that board colors and pieces are a seperate function from themes and I have no issues there. I am trying to add a dark theme to the list of available themes under Options>Themes. The only available ones at the moment are just clam,alt,default, and classic.

At some point you'll need to go ask the proper project.

Maurice thank you for your reply. I just realized that I am using scidvspc instead of scid. I still tried to do it like you said. I created a themes folder in my scidvspc directory and unzipped the files but still not working.

No, but you can always ask the Mailing List:

I have one more question for you bstp. Do you know how to install ttk themes to be used in scid on a linux system?

One way to select the only moves you want analyzed is to add the variation in comments and to jump to the position you want. That way your engine will analyze only that position.

Best of luck!

Thank you bstp for your comments. I guess i just like the idea of eliminating moves that only waste the engines power. Being able to select the only moves the engine will analyze just seems quicker and more efficient than going through each individual move one by one and comparing eval, especially when there are maybe 5 or 6 moves your are considering for a single turn. Thank again for taking the time to answer my questions. I am trying to completley move over from windows to linux and I just started using scidvspc.

It's a GUI distinction without any functional difference. The Chess engine analysis will be the same whether your selection is played on the board or in some list. In SCID, simply add the variation in the comments of your game. Unless Aquarium can modify the engine's code, it's the same.

One little trick I find useful is to select 2 lines for the Chess engine when analyzing. They will change, but the allocation of resources will show you if there is stability in the engine's evaluation.
