CHANGELOG

I think it is too dark, but not sure. Somehow it feels very odd looking at the board when one move is shading the square. How was it before?

Before, the colors were given, independent of color settings (and similar to what the formula produces for the default colors, at least close enough we have not had complaints).

I assume you use your own neon colorblind colors we adopted.

the formula is:

const hsl = colorConvert.hex.hsl(colors[i]) // color of pieces
let lightness = Math.min(100, hsl[2] + 32)
const light = `hsla(${hsl[0]}, ${hsl[1]}%, ${lightness}%, 1)`
lightness = Math.min(100, hsl[2] + 25)
const dark = `hsla(${hsl[0]}, ${hsl[1]}%, ${lightness}%, 1)`

i tried a couple formulas for lightness, but nothing worked super well for all colors (like very light or very dark colors)

i am not a color expert, any suggestions are most welcome.

Yes, I do use the neon colorblind. The highlight is not that big of an issue but it is that one annoying thing. Apart from that I like the update.

@icystun i adjusted the color formula a bit, please have a look on https://www.chess.com/4pc-test

i have set a minimum lightness, seems to be working much better for very dark and very light colors.

I tried it, I think dark blue is especially colorful, I would prefer a lighter highlight. The test game was quite a gem! https://www.chess.com/4pc-test?g=1000423-32

I increased the minimum lightness a bi, have another look

Ranter10 nailing it, nice xd. you know what ranters are?

I don't see much of a difference. I prefer transparent over much color at all. Blue is still very dark.

I made them lighter yet again now.

Just a question: what happened to the center mark? Was it annoying for someone? I found it rather useful sometimes.

Yep that got lost (or rather, hidden), did not notice that. Will be back soon.

Thank you!

how has the champion score system changed? can't find in changelog

@i-i_i-i would you update #1 and leaderboards thread?

yeah update changelog

I saw a lot of people talking about how variants will move to the variants server. What does that mean for the main 4PC server?

4PC and other Variants will use the same server and app/UI.

Variants is "4PC 2.0".  https://www.chess.com/clubs/forum/view/four-player-chess-15

Also, will the test server also be taken down or will it just run independently without being changed?
