The "??" mean that a) they are not final (for example, the most critical button - resign game - should be on the bottom right, maybe with an alerting background color), and b) they dont work yet =)

Also, for pub mode I will just enforce fullscreen now (= I only have to align widgets for the 800x480 resolution), and perhaps have a "Send to background", "Switch to start screen" menu when you click the avatar. The other possibility is to append those two menu items to the stop resolution menu, below a nice menu separator.

Re: piece rotation. Keeping the pieces positioned towards each player was what I first started with. I thought it was OK, but jukey's proposal to rotate all pieces is actually less distracting to me. I guess I'll include an option for that and we'll find out what's better out in the field =)
