Picking Color when Playing with DGT Board

Hi everyone!

I could not find a way to pre-select my color to play when using the DGT board. The board as a physical entity has an orientation and at least I find it a pain to have to move it 180 degrees at the start of a new match.

Is there a way unbeknownst to me that can set the color I would play when creating a challenge or joining one?

If not, is it a worthwhile feature for us to collectively request from Chess.com?

Thanks in advance for your input!

When you Challenge someone, select Custom Game and then in the drop down select Random, White or Black! Then you can set up your DGT board as you want! Only works if you create a challenge.

If you do a random seek the colour will be random, although I think over time it'll try to balance it out. 

If you create the challenge you can pick the colour.

You could start the board sideways and then you only have a 90 degree turn to make whatever the colour. 

The initial spin isn't a big deal really. 

Thank you for the tips!  With space constraints, I knocked over the pieces on the only match I played!

I was playing the wrong colour for a few moves before I realised! 

I also keep the board sideways on ready to move it
