One extra though on clan matches.

Instead of winner takes all, is it easy/desireable to change things so that you keep the points that you actually win?
Actually that is reflecetd in "Net" and "gross" point lists (you can aorder according to each to see where you are

If you are in a 5 match game and you lose 3-2, then you don't get 4 points, you get 0

All this has been debated in the past Pete, and some alterations to the points system(among other things) made.
As I have said before, whatever system is adopted ,players will find loopholes to exploit.
I have thought in the past that adopting the system used by FIDE including 1/2 a point each for a draw might help but my instinct says just accept the system as it is and leave the admins to weed out any obvious cheating

Shockingly, this thread was created nearly a year ago. My estimation skills are clearly as sharp as ever. Huge codebases take a long time to rewrite/refactor - who knew!? 😳

A few screen shots have just been uploaded to socials - although it still hasn't really reached the "prettying it up" stage quite yet, but a similar theme will remain.

Once complete a blog post here will document the key differences with final images...so the above are just work in progress.

One little addition mentioned in the Twitter thread above - "traffic light" colors system for browsing game results has been very frequently requested. It has now been added.

A small update - I'm just working on reimplementing dark mode. Internal testing to start next week.

Excellent. I’m using DM all the time now, but a refresh would be beneficial 👍🏼

The new Dark Mode will take a bit of refinement still, but it is in place again at least.

Is dark mode available on iPhone?
I can’t see the icon.
Thanks

@divegeester

On the web site (on mobile), open the main menu (click avatar), and it will be at the bottom of the menu alongside Log Out.

On the new build it is there all the time, as the menu bar no longer exists as it does now.
