I am confused about color player selected when using black background.

I love black background but I am confused when using it. In Play tab at List, I see solid WHITE circle will be black side and BLACK circle will be white side.
Sorry for my English and sorry if i missunderstand.

The colour indicates what side the player has selected to play. If it's solid white, they (your opponent) are playing white; if it's solid black, they are playing black. If it's a blend between black and white, the side is randomly selected.

Wait, I think that I understand your question a bit more now.

If it's filled in, they are playing white. If it's just the border, they are playing black. I can see your confusion.

I mean when I use black background at List: white side will be shown as black circle and black side will be shown as white solid. Does color indicate wrong side?

Okay, I just did some testing ( as I never actually use this list. It's going to be updated to become less jumpy soon ).

The circle that is just the ring, unfilled, means that your opponent is playing white. The circle that is filled, and a solid colour means that your opponent is playing black.
