The Board page has been updated to visually show various features, such as colors, players, and trees. Each player is represented by a default stick-person icon. If you like, you can upload your own custom icon from your Options page. Here are a few guidelines if you would like to do this:
- Maximum file size is 64 KB.
- Choose an image format that will work for everyone. GIF and PNG are universally supported. Animated GIFs are OK. BMP is also widely supported, but file size tends to be larger. SVG will probably give Internet Explorer users some problems.
- Your icon will be scaled down to fit inside the square (so the board doesn't become bloated). Obviously this will be different on everyone's computer, and likely very small (16x16 pixels on my display). Try to choose an image that will look good when scaled at any size. Don't make it too narrow or too wide, or it might get distorted when scaled.
- Don't upload an image that is deliberately misleading (such as the same image I am using for trees).
If you can't see the changes after you update your options (or you can't see the new features at all), you may need to reload the page in your browser.
And finally, if you find all the icons annoying, you can disable them on your Options page.
