Myracle GUI

[mar]

thanks for reporting, I'll look

build 102 is up:
- fix: destructive changes in book settings when changing sets (as reported here)
- fix: if ok button fails in engine details, subsequent close still shows a warning as it should

Thank you, book works as expected now. To my big pleasure I noticed, it displays the currently selected book slot in the book panel. Because before I was under the assumption it was connected tobook 0 only.

Request to the GUI author. Could you please change the color of the chess engine in this window below to black? My monitor is calibrated and the inscription is almost invisible. Thank you very much in advance.

the text is already black, with sRGB-correct blending. what you observe is the effect of anti-aliasing at relatively low resolution
for thin text.
my text renderer already uses subpixel (rgb) AA (similar to cleartype), but doesn't do autohinting like freetype.
font rendering is hard and it's tricky to make it look sharp at a small scale relative to pixel size.
I don't have time to explain font rendering techniques here - but I'm sure you can google or ask a chatbot for more information

so right now you have two options: make the text bigger - you can set global UI scale in appearance settings (110% should do)
or buy a highDPI monitor

a third option would be to make the engine font bold, which I'm reluctant to do (perhaps optional in appearance settings)

110% did not help.

An incredibly valuable piece of information for the whole chess world.

build 103 is up:
- fix: game analysis sometimes didn't show score/depth in pgn comments
- optionally (default off) set engine name font to bold (settings/appearance/bold engine name checkbox)

I have another request for the GUI author. Can you please add a selection when configuring chess engines. As it happens in the SyzygyPath tab. Thank you very much in advance.

no

A very serious request to the GUI author - because in this request I have to do it myself. Could you please remove the information in bracket regarding the end of the game? Since there’s information in the tag at the top. I have to delete this one myself because I think that the name and information in bracket are unnecessary. I sincerely ask you to consider my request - for which I thank you very sincerely and seriously.



Kind regards
Krzysztof

That request makes no sense. It is in the header because many programs, when loading large PGN files, quickly scan the headers for game information. There is no good reason for you to even want to remove it, as there is absolutely no downside in it being there.

I have a very serious request for you too Krzysztof, stop trolling unless you really want the permaban

To make things easier for you, I'll ignore any further messages from you.
When I look at your posts in other GUI threads, the pattern is very clear

It makes sense to me because I have to remove the bracket with the inscription myself

That information is crucial to the CCRL scripts processing PGNs.
