logoSize
is non-zero, next to the white and black clocks, respectively.
autoLogo is set, XBoard will search for a PNG image file
with the name of the engine or ICS in the directory specified
by logoDir.
recentEngineList, by their nicknames,
and the most recently used one will always be sorted to the top.
If the list after that is longer than the specified number,
the last one is discarded.
Changes in the list will only become visible the next session,
provided you saved the settings.
Default: 6.
You can select other sizes or vary other layout parameters by providing
a list of comma-separated values (with no spaces) as the argument.
You do not need to provide all the values; for any you omit from the
end of the list, defaults are taken from the nearest built-in size.
The value n1 gives the piece size, n2 the width of the
black border
between squares, n3 the desired size for the
clockFont, n4 the desired size for the coordFont,
n5 the desired size for the messageFont,
n6 the smallLayout flag (0 or 1),
and n7 the tinyLayout flag (0 or 1).
All dimensions are in pixels.
If the border between squares is eliminated (0 width), the various
highlight options will not work, as there is nowhere to draw the highlight.
If smallLayout is 1 and titleInWindow is true,
the window layout is rearranged to make more room for the title.
If tinyLayout is 1, the labels on the menu bar are abbreviated
to one character each and the buttons in the button bar are made narrower.
coordFont option specifies what font to use.
monoMode; XBoard will determine if it is necessary.
flashCount
tells XBoard how many times to flash a piece after it
lands on its destination square.
flashRate
controls the rate of flashing (flashes/sec).
Abbreviations:
flash
sets flashCount to 3.
xflash
sets flashCount to 0.
Defaults: flashCount=0 (no flashing), flashRate=5.
showCoords
is true. If the option value is a pattern that does not specify
the font size, XBoard tries to choose an appropriate font for
the board size being used.
Default Xaw: -*-helvetica-bold-r-normal–*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*.
Default GTK: Sans Bold %d.
tol pixels
or less from the desired size. A value of -1 will force
a scalable font to always be used if available; a value of 0 will
use a nonscalable font only if it is exactly the right size;
a large value (say 1000) will force a nonscalable font to always be
used if available. Default: 4.

The PieceColor options only work properly if the image files
defining the pieces were pure black & white
(possibly anti-aliased to produce gray scales
and semi-transparancy),
like the pieces images that come with the install.
Their effect on colored pieces is undefined.
The SquareColor option only have an effect
when no board textures are used.
