This looks really ugly
=> https://prnt.sc/130ni27

and this looks a lot better (a DropDown Button for Hash setting)
=> https://prnt.sc/130nn4p

That way, there is space left on the right side of each engine to place PV Board like on Chess.com
=> http://prntscr.com/130nrhs

So it will look like this

Thanks.
It is already there next to the autoplay button.
But it is not possible to flip the board when it is in tournament mode. So it would be a nice feature for tournament mode to be able to flip the board if one desires to do so.

I've set a layout like this, and it looks good
=> https://prnt.sc/130rcad

But when the names of engines are too long, the layout I have previously set is broken

Ahh, Understood! That would be nice. :wink:

I think it's really important to separate these three layouts:

- layout for tournament
- layout for human vs engine
- layout for human vs human

When we run a Tournament, a lot of Windows we need "Engine info, Moves, PV Board, Engine Log and so on".

But when we play against an Engine, then we only need 3 Windows "Engie info, Moves and Books/Egtb".

and when we play against other people, then we only need 2 Windows "Moves and Books/Egtb".

I have created examples of layouts for easy understanding.

tournament layout

human vs engine layout
=> http://prntscr.com/1310pz4

human vs human layout
=> http://prntscr.com/1310th2

The Button can be placed to the right of the "Windows" menu.
=> https://postimg.cc/7G8VPmCD
=> https://postimg.cc/t1SjLn7h

---------------------------------

The reason I propose this feature, is because this feature [https://postimg.cc/560kRKLk] doesn't work, the layout affects each other.

That explains why I get a broadcasting error on startup.
