Go up one level in this thread


The version I saw I downloaded just last week.  It clearly has potential - it is
a reasonably normal Windows screen.  On the other hand, I considered the boards,
both 2D and 3D, to be quite inadequate.  When the 2D board is expanded to fit on
a larger screen the pieces become rather ugly.  While it's probably not a huge
effort to improve this, I do think this is the right time to provide the
feedback to the Rebel team that many of us would indeed like to see some
improvements before Rebel-CP is released.
