Or at least let me toggle it. I find it irritating.
A lot of people come into these games without knowing it's not standard chess though. With no indication that it's different from standard, you'll be playing a lot of people thinking it's standard chess.
I think it's very good, that they are highlighted as default.
So new players know there is a difference.
But for me it's the same as for Kaligule.
Im getting a bit irritated by that.
I would appreciate it, if one could turn it off.

I'm all too familiar with this. People often join my variant games, sit there for a moment (presumably looking at the variant info on the side of the screen), and then abort.
This is why I think more should be done to let people know which matches are variants, before they join and waste the creator's time by aborting.

@PigsRule
There is nothing more to be done. There's already a warning before they enter the game (if they haven't changed it), but people just clicks ok without reading it (or are unable to read it). I think that without the warning there would be even more people who runs in not having a clue.

Yeah please turn off the highlighting of the center. It's unplayable for me.

as it's seen by evidence the warning doesn't work. The lists for chess variants should be completely separated, so that one can join 960 game only by specifically looking for it. I'd like if instead of List/Graph tabs there was 4 tabs - Standard, 960, King Of The Hill and 3 checks. The minuscule icon for non-standard variants in current open games Listing is indistinguishable from timing control (Blitz/Bullet). And whats more, the non-standard games do not have timing control icon.

Yes make an option to turn it off... Hurts the eyes.

I have no evidence that the warning doesn't work. Unless you've played games before the warning has been implemented and kept track of it all, you're only observing how many people unknowingly come in with the warning. But you have no idea what that number is if there was no warning. There's no such thing as a perfect system that completely eliminates this problem, especially when there are language barriers.
