General Pleasantries and such

First Off, thank you so much, for the custom boards, @ totalnoob F I

I appreciate this platform lichess, and its enhancements, lichess tools.

Now I'm sure you all know, even as I - a bit of luddite - know ... W * ndows 11 is )^!&@ horrible, borderline unusable, and i'm sure the problem is on my end. So i'd just like to politely note, that, there are minor incompatibilities. This is perhaps, and probably, exacerbated by McAfee, and perhaps further, tertiarily ( third down the list ) I habitually have to open Task manager to 'end task' on the most basically useless, power-hungry programs.

Whew, Ok. Rant Over.

So again Thank you for your program. My Favorites, custom boards are the mellow tones, as such. As said, I'm a bit of a luddite, and getting this machine plugged in is a bit of an ask for me sometimes, so I still have not explored Further Custom Boards beyond the initial options, so any pointers in that subject are appreciated. Ok, that's enough of your attention Thank You.

Thanks for the nice words, @enpassant32 !

Windows 11 is not that bad. I have it myself. There are some tools you can download to make it look and feel exactly like Win10, but since you are not that tech savvy, I wouldn't recommend them to you.

As for the custom boards, I guess you've read this: https://lichess.org/@/TotalNoob69/blog/customizing-lichess-pieces-boards-sounds-and-more-with-lichess-tools/1nQoshDg ?

I don't know what other details you want, maybe you can be more explicit.

You Fixed 'Em !

The New update works.

Thanks much. Now I don't have to toggle it on and off, and I can keep my cool mellow board for analysis

But... with a tradition of local governance and independence, how is Switzerland a good background for a game about royalty?
