More selectivity in Lobby and Find Game

When I want to play, I usually want to have 17 to 25 minutes for a 40 move game, which boils down to
base time + 2/3 increment >= 20 and rapid and increment >=1. or eg. 15+5, 20+1, 10+10
Also I seldomly want to play players who absolutely want to have white.

Currently, the only way to find such games is to go to the loby and select "rapid" and then constantly scan the lobby list for such game proposals. This is quite unnerving.

And I've found no way to make such a game proposal myself. Of course I can make game proposals with 15+5, but then there is no way to filter out those guys who always want to play white. And there are a lot of them.

So I suggest these improvements:
a) Add some features for the filter for the lobby list:
a1) a possibility to filter out those guys who always want to play white.
a2) a possibility to set a minimum increment or a minimum base time + 2/3 increment or the like.

b) Add a possibility to the "Find new game"-dialog which allows it to filter out the guys who only want to play white. (Currently, I could do this in selecting "white" myself, but that is not what I want. I want to have white or black randomly.)

Best regards,
