Go stones are less than full size #275

One of my issues with a lot of Go software is the size of the stones relative to the size of the board grid. The games look 'thin' or 'weak' when the stones don't appear to be touching, and other players I spoke to seem to agree with me. Anyways, on Shin KGS the stones are also not full size. I've played around with the CSS in the inspector and found the following lines from .Board-stone::before can be changed to 0% 0% 100% 100% and it looks good. But I suspect that there was a reason for the 2% centering.

The CSS lies from .Board-stone::before :

shinkgs/src/css/_board.scss

Lines 542 to 545 in 3734878

left: 2%;
top: 2%;
width: 96%;
height: 96%;

Examples from Firefox 109.0.1 (64-bit) below. I've used the client at https://shinkgs-master.vercel.app .

Regular, unmodified looks:

After setting to 0% and 100% everything is much better:

I've checked the mobile view in Firefox, which didn't break, and I also checked in Chrome, both regular and mobile view, and didn't see any jumbling of stones, or misalignment with the grid, at least not more than what happens when unmodified, and only when the size is very small.

To be fair, and I know it's stupid, but the main reason I prefer the plain ordinary Java client is the looks and the fact that the stones are actually connected. Usually when I go to Shin KGS I start by editing the CSS to make it look 'good'.
