My Full Screen Button and The Gear wheel next to the bored on my ain't showing up Why?
Would like to suggest a PLAY button
Shown above, My full screen.. actually everyone's full screen Focus Mode. After my game.. there's no New Game button or Play button. Usually after a game a small pop-up shows
with the new ratings and outcome. When that button is closed, you are left on this screen to either chat or to review the game with the arrow keys etc.
The Minimize button and cog-wheel for Settings are in between the clock and board in the upper right when you mouse over. It would be nice to see a Play/New Game button hidden up there with the cogwheel. Would stream line so in case someone closes that window quickly or stays in Focus Mode, they will not have to continually unFocus just to go through the same few windows to play another game and then go back into Focus mode.
Also, if the Sidebar menu on the left is Collapsed, the board in Focus mode clips the A or H file depending on side. If someone is playing a blitz or bullet and wants to go into Focus mode quickly to minimize distractions. The board will clip and they will have to deFocus to go back in to main view, and then extend the Menu Sidebar and go back into Focus. I'm sure you can see how those few steps in a blitz game can siderail what FOCUS mode actually tries to help out with 🤣😂 I have tried this on 2 browsers. Chrome and FireFox.
Thanks Chess.com you guys are cool in my book,
