The new ChessCom screen has the UI a bit misplaced, the icon of the selected game mode is not vertically aligned with the text (e.g. the lightning icon next to 5|5). In addition, the text font size could be a bit larger like before, I think it would look better.

Also saving the selected time control between board restarts would be a great addition for this ([Feature Request: Remember Time Controls](https://community.playchessup.com/t/feature-request-remember-time-controls/2225)).

Hoping for the OTB clocks in next releases.

Thank you for adding the additional time controls for chess dot com!!! This is a well needed and anticipated addition and great to have available.

Thank you for releasing more time controls! I just had an awesome win in a 10+5 game! All working fine so far. 🥳

It’s only a small thing but I really appreciate the ‘rated’ slider being integrated into the time selection page rather than having its own page

Hi there. Updated 10 1.7.3. a day ago. Played and ended a game today normally, but after placing the pieces back on the board, I touched one and then this happened:

Even after switching off and on, these lights keep on appearing and the board asks me to set up the pieces…

SOLVED…!

Pieces are the wrong way round, white go the same side as the chess up logo.

No worries, not the first time I have seen someone say this in the forum and I am sure you will not be the last. Now you can let out a sigh of relief that its not a broken board 😉

It looks like the symbol is aligned with the bottom of the text. But yeah not centered with it

On my end I can choose rated or not while on the time selection page.
