nice ;)

first of welcome to XBoard, great to have you on board.

I think pretty much all of the above is not implemented at the moment ;)
We do have an gtk2 version that can be compiled and used, but it still
is in the experimental phase and several things are not working
correctly(resizing) or have been implemented(font selection). All of the
4 points you mentioned would be great to have in XBoard.

HGM will probably be the person who will be able to answer any code
questions. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

One item we would need would be for you to fill out the copyright
notice, since XBoard is a GNU project. I'll email you the details in a bit.

cheers
