Did something happen to the Merida piece set?

It is not just a matter of aesthetics. Actually the new black queen is a source of errors. There is too much white on it, it makes you think for a fraction of second that it is a white queen.

Agreed, it doesn't look good at all.

I hate the new one. The old one was the only one I ever used, why mess with it. Everything feels off now.

I dont like the new one. Black pieces.

I hope they change it back soon.

Looking at recent changes for images, I only see this fix (which I don't think is released yet): github.com/ornicar/lila/commit/28bc905b98885d9ba02bb1ede64e92418325bded

@Toadofsky multipass!

Bring back my piece set! A new piece set is ugliness! Make it a separate piece set or throw it out altogether, but return the old piece set!!!

I agree, just logged on and immediately noticed the rooks looked really weird, then saw the Queens were different too. Really hate the new set - please change it back!!

... and it just reverted back.

Thanks devs!

Some of the new Merida pieces looked nice & even artistic, but the different-sized bishops and the coloring of Black pieces made it a bit tricky to focus on playing a game.

EDIT: The author made a new White bishop... if only other pieces weren't reduced in size & the Black rook/queen were slightly less distracting, I'd certainly (on my stream) use the new (simplified?)
