For those who are interested, I found what I think is an aesthetically pleasing canvas board theme effect.

I think they were Deep Shredder 13, Houdini 6 and Deep Hiarcs 14 to name a few.

Unfortunately, all the above engines are commercial and quite expensive. Thus I find and try an old one Hiarcs 13 instead:

Can you check those engines to see what names they are using for setting cores/threads (from BSG, open Settings dialog, tab engines, click on each engine and look into their option box)? Thanks again.

The problem is that it used the name "Core Threads" instead of popular one "Threads". That is why BSG cannot auto-detect and fill value for that field. I will support that name anyway.Code: Select all

Re: Banksia GUI released
Can you remove them from BSG then re-add them and check if BSG can get that option? Not sure if it is a problem of BSG. I guess those engines may hide that option until registering. I am looking after this issue anyway.AdminX wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2019 10:15 pmStrangely enough they are say/ show:phhnguyen wrote: ↑Sun Nov 24, 2019 9:15 pmThanks!

So I am not sure why for some engines they are not being detected. They all threads now that I have edited the Json file. Before there were not options to set threads at all.Code: Select all
option name Threads type spin min 1 max 8 default 8

Re: Banksia GUI released
Is it possible to assign a different opening book to each competing engine?
Or even an opening book to one engine only?
