Minimal light mode

Hi,

I’ve tried the minimal light mode and find it really cool. However I was wondering if assistance could override it. I was expecting it to be active only when you chose no assistance and tried a game, setting assistance for the opponent and it appeared he also got no light mode enabled, even the hint limit is shown as decreasing (nice addition by the way) but still with no hints on the board. Do you think you could change this behavior?

@JustinF - thoughts?

Yes, I think we could change this so that if assistance is enabled minimal lights mode will automatically be disabled. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes but only for the player having assistance, is that possible?

I actually do not mind the current behavior. I think of ‘Minimal lights mode’ as a master toggle. In the scenario where assistance overrides it, I will need to enable Minimal lights, then adjust two assistance sliders.

We talked this through and we are going to stick with the current behavior for now.

Maybe having a dedicated -1 level of assistance showing minimal light mode would be an option so you could still play with no distraction for one user while the other one has any type of assistance needed and keep the global setting available if you really want to disable it globally no matter what
