Thanks Fulvio! Changed some colors to my taste too and now it looks good to me.

Can the analysis engine line font be changed to something bigger?

Thanks Fulvio,

please is it possible to compile and post the macOS binary for the mac-users, who are not programmers?

Thanks in advance!

PS: Is it possible to analyse a position simultaneously with two engines with SCID 4.7?

First clicking on the "hamburger button" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger_button ) under the board and then clicking on "rotate".

Yes, selecting the menu "options" -> "fonts" -> "fixed".

I do not own a macOS machine and therefore I can not do it.
Maybe someone else will compile a binary version and make it available.

Hey, I really like this new version!

Sadly, whenever I resize the window it lags behind by some seconds (using Win10).
Do you know how I could fix this?

Hi, thanks for trying the new version.
I tried to reproduce the behavior (installed SCID4.7, resized and maximized the window) on a couple of Win10 machine, without success.
Could you please check that there is no background process (update?) that slows down your computer?

Strange :?

I tried many things, like a fixed chess board size etc. Nothing helped. When I tried there were no background processes. I do have an i7 5930k on 4.1 GHz so I don't think it is that.

Thank you anyway :)
