Newspaper board themes #11009

Hello, I am a mobile iOS user and can’t download custom board themes via Stylus. I humbly suggest these board themes be added to the site as they look really cool.

The exact images are not currently in the required formats. We'd need:

The board as SVG, or 1024x1024 pixel PNG or JPEG
The pieces as SVG

Could lichess design a style of its own like it then? The owner of the themes is no longer on lichess so I can’t contact him to ask for those specs. Chess has been publicized in newspapers throughout history and it would be a really cool aesthetic representation to have a theme like that.

Hej @niklasf and @Pawnstreetblues,

I've tried to create SVG newspaper inspired on Alpha2 chess font, looks like this:

newspaper1.svg

I've tried to balance line widths and colors and match them with lichess UI. ``` ```

newspaper2.svg

Added lines to match Lichess UI even more closely. ``` ```

If you would be happy with it, I can create a PR.
