Peter, I got the mail ok as well, and here's a few thoughts about the changes:

Looks decidedly low-tech and clunky compared to the beauty and slickness of
the board and stones, which by the way still take my breath away. Maybe
make the ring thicker so it's more prominent? Or how about turn it into a
ring-shaped piece of the opposite color stone texture?

Very nice idea, and more interesting than the plain old circle. I
personally still would like a subtle glow or aura effect though.

Yes, both of these appear as intended now.
Also, I am having an issue with shadows that I don't think has been raised
yet. On my WinXP Pro/Geforce3 box, stone shadows appear patchy, as in this
screen capture:
http://mysite.verizon.net/mdrohn/images/gIGo/shadow.jpg. Interestingly
enough the shadows are correct on my Win98SE box with an old Nvidia Riva
128 card, probably because it's running glGo in software mode.
