The Edit Square Facility

When the left mouse button is depressed whilst simultaneously holding down the Ctrl button (except in tournament mode), then if the mouse is pointing to a square on the board, the Edit Square dialog is invoked.

The dialog box shows four sucessive buttons. From top-to-bottom these are:

1. The name of the piece occupying the square, or the text <empty> if the square is unoccupied.

   The colour of the piece name indicates the colour of the piece.

   Selecting the button pulls down a scrollable list of pieces (with <empty> at the top).

2. The icon of the piece. Selecting the icon changes the colour of the piece.
3. Whether or not the piece has declined to promote. Selecting the button toggles this status, where appropriate (note that in the cases of promoted pieces, and pieces such as the King, which can never promote, this information is meaningless).
4. Whether or not the piece may promote. Selecting the button toggles this status, where appropriate.

Closing the dialog causes the changes to take effect.
