Hide friend's activities in game log

The extension allow you to stop displaying your friend's activity in the game log. You can find this option in the game preferences, this is activated by default.

Navigation menu

In games where this is of interest, the extension adds a vertical menu on the left-hand side for quick navigation between the players' boards. In some games, there are also shortcuts to key elements of the game, such as the main board.

This menu can be activated or deactivated in the game settings.

Floating menu

If you're playing on a small screen, it could be a good idea to save space by hiding the game log and player panels.

An option allows you to display these two elements in floating menus.

Deleting a game

The extension adds a button for 'deleting' a game. This button appears next to the button for starting the game in the list of games. Deleted games no longer appear in the list of games or in the lobby.

An icon in the top right-hand corner of the screen allows you to show or hide the general chat.
