[REQUEST] Board colors

How can I ask to add those board appearance? Nobody responced.

Why this?
Those colors are SVG and light-weight. SVG working fast on slow devices and slow connection. Textured analogs better for regular use, but not for "slow". I like only "olive" and "grey", but needed SVG analogs too.
Yes I know, it is possible to use CSS hack, but what about default use? THis is very good colors and popular thorough users.
I makes them already.
@thibault please add them.

Just add. Or answer why you ignoring my requests...
@LamLamer A good user interface doesn't add too many choice, otherwise it becomes overwhelming very quickly.

And that's a good reason not to accept every request from a single person.

If you want these boards, just do that in your browser:

1. Install the Stylus extension github.com/openstyles/stylus/

2. Encode your SVG in a data URI yoksel.github.io/url-encoder/

3. Create a new user stylesheet for lichess, and replace the board.

Done.

Here is mine; modify it to your needs:

cg-board
{
background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,%3C%3Fxml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='no'%3F%3E%3Csvg xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg' xmlns:x='http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink' viewBox='0 0 8 8' shape-rendering='geometricPrecision'%3E%3Crect width='8' height='8' fill='%23aaa'/%3E%3Cg id='a'%3E%3Cg id='b'%3E%3Cg id='c'%3E%3Cg id='d'%3E%3Crect width='1' height='1' fill='%23eee' id='e'/%3E%3Cuse x='2' href='%23e' x:href='%23e'/%3E%3C/g%3E%3Cuse x='4' href='%23d' x:href='%23d'/%3E%3C/g%3E%3Cuse x='1' y='1' href='%23c' x:href='%23c'/%3E%3C/g%3E%3Cuse y='2' href='%23b' x:href='%23b'/%3E%3C/g%3E%3Cuse y='4' href='%23a' x:href='%23a'/%3E%3C/svg%3E") !important;
}

"A good user interface doesn't add too many choice"

There should be separated menu for "vectored" and "textured" boards.
Then provide a compelling use case for introducing an extra step.
