Arena GUI and Engine Logos

Post by Amstaff »

Hello, sometimes when I put in the logo file path for an engine, the logo shows up in the GUI and sometimes it doesn't. I would appreciate any help for this.
Many thanks,
Gerald

What do you mean by "put in the logo file path"? If you browse for the logo file from the engine installation window, the logo should always show up.

Yes, that is what I meant. I browse and find the logo path, it shows up, sometimes it is a .jpg or .bmp file, I load it, and sometimes the logo does not show up when I start the gui for a game.

Simple....the engine name and the logo must be identical....
For example if you have Stockfish_16s.exe and Stockfish.jpg,you won't see your logo....

Wrong, Wael. You can browse for the logo in the engine details and it can have any name, only the extension is important.
So I was dong it the long way around :lol:
Thanks Gabor....

If the engine is already selected in the main window and you then set the logo for it,
the new logo will not show up until you restart the engine.
