How do I delete a color scheme?

I guess I should add an option for that.  Presently, you'd need to remove it from the registry...   Run Registry Editor, go to  Computer > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > ChessV > Color Schemes.  Then delete the key for the scheme you want to delete.

Is there a possibility to have a time handicap against the computer?

Probably.  I'm dreading doing any modifications to that dialog box - it was tricky getting it to look and work correctly.  Maybe I'll add the ability to change the clocks from within the came.

Is there a possibility of defining a color scheme with the script editor?

Sort of.  You can set custom colors for a game but it won't be saved as a named scheme that you can apply to other games unless you save it.  The include file for Palace Ninja Guards sets the square and border colors.  You can also set Player1Color and Player2Color in the same way.  NOTE: This is only setting the defaults for a game.  Any game you have already played already has your color choices saved in the registry so this won't change anything.  But you can delete the registry key for the game if you want and then it will reset to the defaults specified in your include file next time you open the game.  Computer > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > ChessV > Games.
