[Feature request] Zen mode

Open pepellou opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

The idea would be to have the same as lichess, a customizable setting to enable/disable Zen Mode, in which some things (chat, player names and ratings on the left, opponent's rating on the right, move list and bottom crosstable) would be hidden so the player can focus only on the game (board and clocks).

For some players is really useful, especially in team competitions like the zh960 league, as seeing things like the spectators is bad for nerves.

@pepellou How can seeing zh960 tourney games be bad for nerves!?

Audience (spectator list) may affect your play. This is independent from the variant you play :)

Exactly.

And that's just one use case. Zen mode intends to remove any distractions from the game (basically leave board and clocks), and different users have different reasons to use it.

Seems this needs some more love on mobile. https://imgur.com/aXDT2nD
