Okay, so I wanted to pop in here real quick and mention that playing online over at FICS is definitely doable and works extremely well, even for someone with a N800.
I'm currently trying to figure out the best way for the screen layout to appear. Give me a couple of days on this and I can post my options.dat file for others to use if needed.
The first thing that really is required is to "Dock Windows" under the Windows option.
Unfortunately that currently blows the whole full screen feature so you're back to doing this in Xterm after launching Scid which was mentioned previously.
wmctrl -r scid -b add,fullscreen
Here's a few tricks if nobody knew of them before:
You can "right click" on a tab and dock the window to the top, bottom, left or right of the screen.
You can "left click" on a tab and drag it to another area on the screen. This is much different than right clicking though.
Windows can be resized by dragging on the the edge it.
Anyway, give me a couple of days and I'll hopefully get a nice start up screen for both portrait and landscape modes.
Ukki, exactly where are you with this?
Was it simply a thing to see if it could be done or do you have more interest in this beyond that?
There's about 5 things that could use a little work with one being slightly more moderate in difficulty (maybe). Just wondering where your head is at on this.
I'm not going to mention what any of them are right now since I must........remain.......grateful!
So yeah, here are two screen shots of my default layout when heading over to FICS if anyone wants to see them.
