#257 Colors from ChessBase not displayed!

[Frank Eschenauer]

2 colors from ChessBase18 are not displayed in Scid 5.1.0. Orange and Cyan.
If orange and cyan are combined with one or more other colors from ChessBase 18 (red, green, blue, or yellow), no colored arrows or colored marked squares are displayed!
If you delete orange and cyan from the comment in Scid for the respective move, the colors red, green, blue and yellow are displayed.

This is a bug, because Scid itself can display orange and cyan colored arrows and fields. Described in Scid as “orange” and “cyan”!

ChessBase uses the color abbreviation “O” for orange and “C” for cyan.

Please fix the bug that Scid cannot convert the abbreviation O to orange and C to cyan.

R to red, G to green, Y to yellow, B to blue works fine, but not cyan and orange.

Hi Frank,

I upload a pull request for this feature.
You can easily add this two lines in your board.tcl file.
Meanwhile Chessbase also uses "LR" for light red. I don't think SCID should implement this.

Hi Uwe
The pull request works, I have added the two colors in the “set color”
area and in “variable CBcolor”. All 6 ChessBase colors are now
displayed. Thank you.
There is no color LR or Light Red in ChessBase.
