Fancyground

Custom arrows and square highlights for lichess.org.

Fancyground is a Chrome extension designed to improve your experience on lichess.org by customizing visual elements on the chessboard. Unlike the default interface, Fancyground highlights entire squares instead of just circles, making square highlights more prominent and easier to notice.

You can personalize the colors of arrows and highlights to suit your preferences, and the arrows no longer obscure the chess pieces they originate from, providing clearer visual cues during gameplay. Its open-source code is available on GitHub, ensuring transparency and community involvement. Perfect for chess enthusiasts seeking a clearer and more customizable board display.

it's great but for me sometimes the arrows don't come from behind the pieces, especially when you resize the board. That's one of my most favorite features, pls fix

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Fancyground requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • High Injects scripts into web pages, which may alter or extract site contents, resulting in a substantial risk.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

Fancyground has earned a good reputation and can be trusted.
