afK doesn't add any movement in mScK4 but without it, the target square always appears green when there are no pieces there even though it can capture if there are pieces there.

How about switching Diamonds & Onyxes? or Onyxes with Lame Ducks? That'll make Onyxes easier to bring to long diagonals.
