Yes. the aspect rato is now 108 x 82. This is to make it fit better in 
the integrated gui. The shape is also closer to the shape of the 3D 
board. Also this new shape look closer to a real board. I have never 
seen a real board that's only 11 chequer wide across. Even the narrow 
Plaspel boards is wider then 11 chequers.

I agree that the animation looks a bit cumbersome, but I think the new 
shape looks better.

I think mose things are taken care of, except for the html images export.

All this is issues that O stated in the mail when I commeted the code.

Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

I like the new shape, but there should be some fixes to the animation 
and the dynamic labels.
