[Feature request] Board coordinates inside every square

Hi,

I am fairly new in chess and I find very difficult for me to learn board coordinates. I am aware there is already a training designed for this, but I would like to learn coordinates while playing.

I tried to add a custom background to have board coordinates inside each square. (here is the background I made for white side : imgur.com/a/w2NkmPN)

However I couldn't have it change for when I am black.

So I would love to see Lichess implementing a way to see every coordinates inside their square. I am sure that will help a LOT of people here.

Thank you
This should help you to learn coordinates:
lichess.org/training/coordinate

As for custom background, you can use Stylus with userstyles. You need two backgrounds, one for white, which you already have, and one for black. Then you can use these styles:

.is2d .orientation-white .cg-board {background-image: url("https ://i.imgur.com/xfIlsa8.png") !important;}
.is2d .orientation-black .cg-board {background-image: url("https ://img-with-coords-for-black-at-the-bottom") !important;}

Replace second URL with correct link and remove space bettween https and : in both URLs.
Btw, if you only want to change background while playing and analyzing add lichess_game class, i.e.:
.is2d .lichess_game .orientation-white .cg-board
