Fancyground is a browser extension that changes the appearance of arrows and circles on lichess.org.
- Highlight entire squares instead of drawing circles
- Customize arrow and highlight colors
- Arrows no longer cover the pieces that they originate from
Fancyground is available at the Chome web store or at Firefox add-ons.
Stock Lichess on the left, Fancyground on the right:
On Lichess, right click and drag to draw arrows. Hold shift and/or alt as you draw to change the arrow's color. Right click in place to highlight squares.
With Firefox, use control instead of shift because shift right click forces the context menu to appear.
npm install
npm run buildGenerated javascript will be in the bundled/ folder.

Versions used:
- npm: 7.4.3

Optional: Madge (generating the module dependency graph) requires graphviz.
The chrome branch strips Firefox-specific features from the manifest and uses manifest version 3 instead of 2. To package the extension, run the following command:
zip -r -X -FS "fancyground.zip" bundled static icons manifest.json -x "*.DS_Store"-x .DS_Store exists to deal with macOS's hidden files.
