That's my biggest dislike of v3 MarkProb; I much prefer the look of the board and pieces in v2 and struggle with the 80s arcade game look of v3.

Humans don't like change and as we get older, we embrace change even less.

@MarkProb Which green background is that? Could you paste a screenshot? 

If you're talking about the board, I think all the piece and board styles that are in V2 are also available in V3.

Here's an example of the 'Green' board with 'Book' pieces in V3:

The closest I can get to simple board colour I had & liked before is now called " Bases ". The closest I can get to the simple piece style I had & liked is " Alpha ".  These are taking some getting used to but aren't that bad. The BACKGROUND is a light to medium purple. It would be ideal if I could use the piece & board styles, mentioned above, with a lighter or medium green background. Used to be able to have a green background on HOME PAGE BEFORE. Cannot, or do not know how to do so now without having to change PIECE STYLE & BOARD COLOUR to that I dislike. Never did have a Green Background for tactics or games. I'm just saying that that would make things sooooooooooooo much better!  I really miss having a greener home page just so I can tolerate the piece style & board colour.               CHESS RULES!!!

@MarkProb If I understand what you're trying to do (if not, please post a screenshot explaining what you're trying to achieve), you can go to the Themes setting (https://www.chess.com/settings/themes) and change the background (and pieces and board &c) there if you choose the Custom theme.

For Chrome (and soon other browsers, I believe), there's a plugin which allows you to further customize the colours of various bits of the page.

Correction. I really miss NOT HAVING A GREENER HOME PAGE so I can tolerate the piece style & board colour.     The '' Bases " colour is shade of brown (with wood grain) & off white. Maybe there is a way & I just don't know it. If that is so I would appreciate the assistance.                                                                                                                       CHESS RULES!!!

I spend far more time in v3 than v2 the last months, cause i like it more! 

But I have to agree wink.png It's not a complete mess, but surely a big mess... It currently looks like the only way forward though, so i hope it all goes well and the problems are quickly resolved.

How about an option for a more visible (bigger) clock?
