Is logo not working or am I dumb?

Postby coarse » 21 May 2023, 00:15

The attached image is of my logos folder. I have it set up so that my username in the app is "coarse", and have a bitmap called "coarse.bmp" in my logos folder. The problem is that the logo is not properly showing up in the application, and is instead displaying as the "dummy.bmp" file. How do I fix this, and am I just stupid?

I am not sure what exactly you are doing. Which mode are you using WinBoard in? Are you playing against an engine? On startup WinBoard would show the logos of the first and second engine, because it doesn't know what you are going to do. Only when a human is playing it swould attempt to find a logo for the user. I use Machine White and Machine Black mode often in operator-mediated engine tournaments, where WinBoard thinks the operator is the opponent. Then I use Edit->Enter Username to specify the name of the opponent engine, for which I have a logo of the same name in the logo folder.

I am trying to play, human against engine. On startup it shows the two engine logos, and when I make a move, it shows dummy.bmp.
