I am glad to release my new program: Banksia GUI - a chess GUI. It is totally freeware and can run in almost all major operating systems, can do almost all typical tasks of a chess GUI.
Just list a few features:
Support both UCI and WinBoard protocols
Can play all types of games (human-human, human-computer, computer-computer, engine tournaments), support all popular tournament types
Good and high customizable graphics
Support databases, popular book formats (PGN, EDP, Polyglot)
Supports some new chess techniques/trends. For examples, it supports:
[+] Lc0: understand and show its stats in multi visual ways: tables (all columns are sortable), bubbles (customizable for sizes, colors and contents/which stats to show)
[+] chessdb.com: query for both opening and endgame positions
[+] syzygy: users can exam endgame positions
Engines, databases, books could be auto-downloaded and configurated
Easy to use. Many tasks could be done much easy and fast, such as auto-detecting engines, making/reusing tournaments
Current releases are alpha versions and just for computer chess enthusiasts. At the moment there are binaries for Windows 10-64 bit and macOS only. Other binaries (for Win 7, Linux) will be released later.
Thanks for sharing your software. Can you program perform interactive analysis a la IDEA in Aquarium? https://chessok.com/?p=24457
There are several excelling free GUIs around (even with several overlapping function), but I haven't been able so far to find this feature.
Thanks again.

Oh yeah, I always go after giovanni and suggest the same thing. This is about storing a chess graph in a way that the user can have analysis of multiple engines and backsolve it. ChessDB is doing that but only with Stockfish and the user doesn't have a free alternative currently to do that.
Thanks, This might be a bug or feature that has not been enabled yet. However I am unable to change background color.
PS: I would change it in the BanksiaGUI.ini file but I don't recognize the syntax. I would like it to be #efeae2.
