Open JungleJ0n opened 7 months ago

JungleJ0n commented 7 months ago

Hello, Let me start by thank you again for all your hardwork.

Is there any documentation on add custom pieces or themes to lucaschess ?

there is an issue from the original lucas chess repo https://github.com/lukasmonk/lucaschess/issues/69

That says it needs to be SVG tiny 1.2 is that still the case & what is the recommended dimensions ?

1.2 version is required by qt, which is the graphics library used. As svg the most important thing is the proportion, not the dimensions. The way to add a set of pieces is to create a folder in Resouces/Pieces, with the name of the set and include all the pieces in separate svg files, like the rest of the sets in the Resouces/Pieces folder.
