Thanks, Thomas. I'm forwarding your mail to the xboard development mailing list.
Hi Tim,
Hope you are well! On this page you have the comment that
"Using the Hastings XPM set from Thomas Katsampes. Unfortunately the
Hastings XPM set is no longer available."
I've attached an old-style set of xpms that is more or less Hastings, along with a screenshot. Not as fancy as I'd like but I can't seem to find a really good quality image of hastings to make them from, and I lost the files I had years ago. But this set is reminiscent of chess publishing in the 1920s.
This works with xboard presumably up to 4.4. I could not get 4.6 or above to compile on my system. I have not tried 4.5. I think 4.6.2 was the last version to support custom pixmaps, but I could be wrong. I have not followed xboard development for years.
Regards
Thomas
