           Bamboo_Dojo: Sabaki theme From bamboo
                 since kaya is so expensive!


I have no idea of playing Go but it seems to be so mentally 
healthy that I'm making a great effort to get my sons interested
on it. That is the main reason why I'm making a theme for 
Sabaki. There's been much fun in making it, but I'm a lawyer, not
a developer!.

I started this theme with the intention of giving it some 
oriental flavor. Maybe (hopefully) it´s not a complete shame (at
least for occidental natives). I did not made much research and I
have been centered on learning how to use Inkscape, how to 
attach photos using CSS and so on. It´s a rapid prototyped
theme, so oriental characters came from Google translator, I
don´t even know if they are upside down,flipped or whatever, 
sorry (only copy-paste),as I know nothing about Chinese, 
Japanese, or Korean cultures... I hope not to be responsible of 
any international affairs between these (or other) countries. As
far as I know you should be capable of reading "Weiqi" in the 
Chinese characters near the  upper bowl,"Baduk" in Korean in the 
lower bowl, and a literally translated phrase from Spanish to 
English to Japanese (so risky)... I suspect of the phrase to 
have lost all of it´s meaning... only hope not to be blaming or 
something in Japanese!. It would be nice to receive any Japanese 
feedback so I can write something meaningful there instead. For 
anybody interested in it, it should say "La Vida misma", in 
English literally "Life itself", a phrase that in Spanish 
contains both: "life and death" concepts, Chinese and Korean 
feedback are also welcome if there's something wrong!, and if
not... too.

Well, music, I was looking for some Creative Commons oriental 
style tracks and Google came up with a 20 minutes one (CHINESE
INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC) from JustVeee that looked me perfect for 
demonstration purposes. It is also provided a  traditional 
Chinese radio, take a look to "Sabaki.bat" or "Sabaki.bash" and 
configure what you really want to hear. 

I suspect that first thing my son is going to do is to copy all 
my hard rock collection in it!, I can understand him, it is
relaxing for me too :)	


*****************************************************************
       Now some directions about configuring Bamboo_Dojo
*****************************************************************

1.- If not done yet, navigate to %appdata%/sabaki and uncompress
the zip  there. in Linux go to ~/.config/sabaki instead.

2.- Change the Sabaki.AppImage or sabaki.exe path if needed in
Sabaki.sh or Sabaki.bat (Linux or Windows), check music paths
too.

3.- Run Sabaki by double clicking in "Sabaki_music.bat" in 
Windows or "Sabaki.bash" in Linux, this will make Sabaki start 
with ambient music.

4.- If hoshi dots do something weird refer to styles.css to fix
it.

5.- Enjoy.

You have two files to tweak, styles.css, and "Sabaki.bat", or 
"Sabaki.sh" if in Linux. I´ve made an  effort for them to be 
auto explicative, take a look.   

If you prefer to launch Sabaki without the music stuff run it as
usual.



*****************************************************************

Unfortunately this is the best I can do with my "expertise"
but it´s enough for my purposes, so I consider this project
as "finished", only changes will be made if it performs very bad
in Linux (last changes not tested).
If you improved it´s behabour, please let me Know.
The spirit of this theme is mainly to mantain lines as thiner as
possible and civilized small hoshi dots (as round as possible) that
stayed quiet in their place when resizing to any size.

Again, as said before it's a theme made for my sons, you know 
that I'm a lawyer playing with computers, if you run anything
written for me and you lose data, your toaster explodes or 
whatever is your SOLE responsibility.

OK, that´s all, now it's time to start learning to play Go!

bamboo-dojo's Issues

Some japanese help neded.

Well... the project is "finished"... but still waiting somebody that kindly told me what I have written in "japanese" ... Any suggestion of a meaningful "something" to write there would be appreciate.
(see screenshot.png)

Project finished by now

Unfortunately this is the best I can do with my "expertise" but it´s enough for my purposes, so I consider this project as "finished", only changes will be made if it performs very bad in Linux (last changes not tested). If you improved it´s behabour, please let me Know. The spirit of this theme is mainly to mantain lines as thiner as possible and civilized small hoshi dots (as round as possible) that stayed in their place in any board (background) size.

Hoshi size fixed to 5 pixels

Hoshi size changed, adding some transparency makes them look some more round.

With board size smaller than 647x647 (in 19 x 19 board) they get uncentered, but I like small hoshis... anyway I never play in smaller boards. In (13x13) and (9x9) they misbehave too at certain sizes... but there is allways a confortable size to play... for example, I would never play 9x9 in fullscreen...
this is due (I believe) to lines being thiner (half) than the original theme, I had to tweek hoshi position to recenter them, and don´t know how to do it better... or simply how to do it well :)

There is an option in styles.css to change to original dots and lines if you like it more.
