Banksia GUI released

Well, before giving up let me check if this is one instance where minimizing effort is required...

Thanks a lot. I love that simpleness, especially the color, the shape and the simplicity of the red one.

Just a few ideas as I wish:
- The middle of the logo is currently transparent, making it looks a bit weak and maybe not clear in some situations. Can you create the logo with 3 (or a few) larger color areas (such as the red, the yellow and the green areas, they may be filled areas or have significantly bigger strokes)?
- The yellow shape is a bit complicated, could it be a bit simpler?
- If green shapes denote for leaves of Banksia, it would be a bit longer and narrower to avoid being other kinds of plans

Your help is always highly appreciated

Bug: When opening a game from the db, it seems to correctly load the game but not the players names.

Version 0.18 released

* Fixed bugs: almost all known bugs so far such as bugs on database/opening tools, crashed when changing piece styles…
* Some small improvements/adjustments
* Improved features: Play via local network. All engines on a computer can be seen and/or participated in a tournament from other computers. Now we can create tournaments with multi-engines on each computer. That may help to organize "fairer" tournaments when engines can stay in individual computers, take all hardware when playing without being interfered by other engines
* New/trial feature: Broadcast live/no-live games. With a few clicks, users can easily and quickly broadcast any games with full move comments (they may have computing information). Other users can see, watch games and/or download them

Thanks for this new update, it is working well over here. Question if you don't mind me asking, what is the status of "Live URL's" is that now working properly or are there still some issues to be worked out?

Thanks Again.

Thanks a lot for the report. The bug will be fixed for the next release

Thank you very much for the logo. I love its simplicity and strong blocks/areas.
Just a bit confused about its beauty/art but don't know what exactly I want and/or how to fix it.

Thanks Again.

I have found and fixed a bug of that function and tested (it run well) for a few URLs. Still need to check further. Please use it and tell me if there is any problem. Thanks.

Hopefully a graphic designer more experienced in mind reading can come up with something better

Okay, so woke up this morning, went online to "The Week In Chess". There I found a "Live PGN URL" and entered it in Banksia GUI and SUCCESS !!!





Thank you so much!

PS: I can't for the games to start today! This is quickly becoming one beast of a program.
