Dear Mods and Coders,
I've noticed a few things that can be improved on V2.
On desktop:
1.0) On desktop, the site seems a bit zoomed. I don't know how to explain it, but everything seems right in your face.. It should be scaled better. The home page for example, it actually looks like a glitch or something, it looks very unappealing. I had to zoom out with the browser down to 70% to make it look a little nicer. This is the most important in my opinion because almost all users are desktop ones.
1.1) I really think that giving players the option to switch themes (back to v1 design) would be great. But I read in some comments on another thread that it cannot be done, but having such an option should be given to them. Maybe another subdomain like: v1.lichess.org
On mobile devices:
2.0) Zooming should be disabled because when you type in a text box (especially the search box), or when you drag the pieces, sometimes the page zooms in and out. It really ruins the site itself and gaming experience.
2.1) Buttons are missing: the button to give your opponent +15 seconds, the button to reject a rematch, and the buttons that control the moves (backwards, forwards, etc..).
2.2) There is very little indication when a game is ended, just a little 1-0 at the top. A few times I was actually trying to make a move or wait for the opponent make his, but I couldn't because later I realized that my opponent had resigned. It is true, the time does stop when you the game is finished, but sometimes when you're focused on the game, you don't even see the clock at all. I think there should be another message just like the "Info: You play the white or black pieces."
2.3) Make the GG, WP, TY, GTG, and BYE buttons a little bigger vertically.

I will keep commenting on and updating this thread as I notice more things.
I know I kid around sometimes on another boards, but I keep it serious on this board because I care about this community.
Please take these into consideration,
