I would recomment to decrease the saturation of all the board colors by at least 50%. E.g. by giving the image a 50% (or even 70%) transparency and have a whitish background shine through.

I think it would be good to have no background color at all for <tr> elements. I see no legitimate use for it. If it is desirable to see the background color of the page for <table>, <tr> or <td> elements, they could simply be transparent. Then the page background would shine through. If it is desirable to have a color for table cells that is different from the page background, then this should be specified for the <table> element, and the <tr> and <td> cells can be transparent to show that color in every cell. This way it is prevented that background colors of a foreground element would cover/hide non-default changes made in the elements behind it.
I guess that 'inherit' is not a sensible setting for elements like <td> and <tr>, which always have a <table> as (grand-)parent element. Because these would automatically get the color of the parent by being transparent. Inheriting the color just causes problems by eclipsing any background-image of the parenet element; it allows the background-color of the parent to sneak in front of its background-image.
In the I.D. I made the cells transparent by specifying an empty string for lightShade and darkShade. This worked, but I don't know if it is the official method (and thus whether it will always keep working). I now learned that in general (semi-)transparency can be set in HTML by using a notation
rgb(R G B / A%)
where A is the opacity (100 = opaque, 0 = fully transparant). Perhaps I should make the Diagram script recognize the empty string as a color spec for the square shades, and replace it by rgb(0 0 0 / 0%).

Rococo. A clear, aggressive Ultima variant on a 10x10 ring board. (10x10, Cells: 100) (Recognized!)[All Comments] [Add Comment or Rating]I asked David Howe about the situation where a Chameleon can capture a Cannon Pawn by hopping over an enemy Long Leaper, and he says "The Long Leaper is not captured. The Long Leaper capturing move requires moving to a vacant square."
It appears from the Game Courier Preset that the answer is that the Long Leaper is not Captured in this situation and that only the Cannon Pawn is Captured. I suppose that I will accept this as the correct rule for now even though I don't know if this is intentional or a bug.
