I don't see how I can do otherwise. I go to Rendering box, I get a menu. I select CSS instead of Table, then nothing change with the diagram.

Of course nothing changes. This is an HTML form that calls a PHP script to redraw the board. If you reload the page, it will just reset the form, which is the opposite of what you are trying to do. For the values in the form to do anything, you must submit the form.

I see no special button to "submit" or something like that, so I reload and the diagram has still small icons and the rendering is back to Table.

Yes, you do see the submit button, but you are overlooking it because it doesn't say "Submit". It is the same button you would use to submit your move. During the course of playing a game, this may be "Preview" or "Move". When viewing a game, it would be "View".

The pieces are about 1/3 in L and 1/3 in h compare to one square dimensions.

I'm looking at it on a small phone, and I see what you mean. While the code I added will fix the display on my desktop, it doesn't fix things when the squares are greatly reduced in size.

"I just told you in my previous comment"

Where?

"Are you using Alfaerie pieces with the Table rendering method? To stop borders from expanding beyond the space a piece is in, this method will now reduce pieces in size just enough to make room for the borders. For pieces with optimized dimensions, such as Abstract, Magnetic, and Motif, this affects only the largest of pieces. But since Alfaerie pieces have uniform dimensions no matter how big the visible image is, they are all reduced in size. If this makes pieces too small for you, you can switch to the CSS rendering method, which does things in a manner better suited for piece images with uniform dimensions."

Since reducing the size of a piece does not work well for spaces that are already reduced in size, I have turned off this behavior when the board is already being displayed at a smaller size. I tested this on the small phone, and the pieces became appreciably larger.
