Test of exported position color theme

In Response To: Test of exported position color theme (eXtreme Gammon)

While I think this looks a lot better, I want to STRONGLY suggest that the html export from XG use LOCAL images, and not those on the extremegammon.com site. This is the way GNUBG does it, and it's absolutely the right way to do it. The way it's currently done, the ability to see a diagram on BGO (or any other site) depends on the BGO AND the XG site being up. If you link to local images, then only the BGO site needs to be up. And if BGO is down, you wouldn't see the diagram anyway, because you wouldn't be on the site!

If, heaven forbid, something happens and XG no longer maintains an active website, then the XG export becomes useless.

Take a look at how GNUBG does it. Its html export has image links to local image files. Then, whatever site you want to use, you just put those image files on the site... and GNUBG takes care of that for you, with a menu option to generate the local images you want.

Furthermore, there are the "standard" blue and white image files that we see pretty much everywhere (GammonU, BGO, some of the Danish sites). Maybe aesthetically it's boring, but I think readability of the diagrams are paramount, because I have to look at so many of them.

I *so* dislike the XG html export, that for the daily OLM, I maintain the match in two bots: GNUBG and XG. I use the GNUBG html export for posting diagrams, and XG for the match analysis. I think you should take it as a compliment that I (and many others) consider XG to be the superior bot for analysis. If XG can have a better html export feature, it will rule the galaxy.
