What is your board theme?

Here is mine, it uses the neon board and ocean pieces

this is mine

nice

I like your guys’ themes

This is mine

Board: Marble

Pieces: Cases

Just changed the Board to Blue. Looks more comforting than Green.

brown is good

I use green and white with neo-wood pieces

Green and White has long been the tradition in vinyl boards and was the only approved USCF colors. Then came Blue followed shortly by Brown which were accepted as legal.

The light squares are not actually White - as a pure White contrasts poorly with the White pieces. The color is actually an off Yellow. Early interfaces as WinBoard were the 1st to popularize the Green and off Yellow contrast on the internet.

All glass

Wow that's some chess history there

Brown has always been legal (wooden boards) but was not originally produced in vinyl. 
USCF standard equipment was the Green vinyl board. A player could insist on it being used over an opponents wooden board. Not familiar with today’s standards but these things are left to the Organizer about what is permissible equipment.

The player with the Black pieces is given the choice of equipment if not supplied by the Organizer - so long as it meets standard criteria.

A player who arrives at the table 1st can set up the equipment- board, pieces and clock. If it meets acceptable standards then it prevails. So if players prefer using their own equipment it’s always a good idea to arrive at your seat straight away.

Whenever I play OTB, my opponent sometimes asks me to move the clock to their 'right' side. Is it ok if I refuse? 

responding to the earlier board&pieces posts:

Classic pieces with Tournament board

The player with Black has choice of side for the clock. The exception is when Organizers have set up the playing conditions in advance by using their equipment. Often is the case - all clocks are to be on one side of the tables facing in the same direction. This is for TD’s ease of viewing. It can not be changed if so stipulated by the Organizer.

Your question is a good one as players are either right or left handed. Things work out well if one player is right and the other left handed. But with two righty’s - one player must be “reaching across” to play his moves .

Often cases were of a player arriving at the board with the opponent having the equipment in place. The player with Black could determine the side at which the clock was to be placed.

I’m using past tense as no longer a TD. Organizers , if made in advance notice, could stipulate how clocks were to be placed. May not seem a big deal - but for many new players accustomed to their own habits - it was.

Different tones are available in settings.

Compare the two Greens. The 1st example is a bit harsh and dark for my taste as the contrast to the Black pieces is similar and the White is too white - similar to the pieces. 
Individual preferences. What pleases the eye. Experiment.
