That's right, kids! No more Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- to get the board just right. It's 2014, a new Star Wars movie is coming out, and now you can resize boards by clicking the Eye icon in the top-right and dragging the magnification slider as you please. Elements around the board such as chat will scale and adjust themselves accordingly. Great for streamers, the visually impaired, the not-so-visually impaired, and the just plain picky and preferential.
Tell your friends!
No way! :P
Nice addition - except I like making everything bigger - not just the board...
Well your browser knows how to do that already! "Ctrl +" all the way up!
thibault: Did you even read the first two sentences?
This is nice.
Kaligule, do you even know who thibault is? xD
He was referring specifically to the previous poster's comment about making *everything* bigger...i.e. CTRL+ will still do that. He was just reiterating the fact that the new resizability of the board won't interfere with the ability for someone to make everything bigger with CTRL+ if that's their cup of tea (as the previous poster's obviously is).
great feature! thank you so much
@Kaligule, Thibault is the person who has made these changes (and owns and runs the site). I really hope he knows how they work!
... actually I made them. Nobody checks who commits this stuff. :'(
On a site note, what's really nice about this change is that the 3D pieces are now much more usable because at larger sizes they are easier to distinguish.
And, if you have a Chromecast, or any other means of playing to a TV, lichess TV is now a bit more handy. It'll become particularly useful when we start streaming live tournaments(!)
Can we please have this feature for Training puzzles? I'd like to stream using a large board...
Also, thanks to Clarkey for developing the change! I look forward to trying this on my Chromecast (lichess TV running in the background without my PC)!
