Were you able to get slide-rotate installed, Bruce?

I actually prefer Scid over Eboard but the problem with Scid is that the game clocks are poorly implemented.

If there was a way to put digital game clocks above the Castles in portrait mode, it would be close to being perfect for me.

See this post on two of the layouts that are possible with Scid.

I asked the current author on this but he basically blew me off.

To me, it seems like the best solution for Eboard would be in fact using two screens.

matchbox-remote -next

This could be a simple way of changing back and forth between the two screens.

One screen for the game, board, clocks and other information, the second screen for the chatroom and messaging.

Any thoughts on this Bruce?

Is there anyone that is very familiar with Eboard?

I was wondering if it were perhaps possible too add additional sound events.

Some that are missing which would be nice to have are:

Draw
White wins on time
Black wins on time
Check
Checkmate

The sound options doesn't have these but I thought maybe they could somehow be added or programmed in the config file.

Thanks ahead.
