This is quite an interesting one. The reason we went for lower rake at the lowest stakes was that we think players move up in stakes if they win. Sounds obvious I know - all the players like us certainly did. But the casual guy has to decide whether to play Call of Duty or go to the cinema or to play cards.
I have reasonable data that suggest those players also move up in stakes when they win, and lower rake gives them more chances to do that. We have closer to normal rake at higher stake games, so this is good for all of us.
But we do that without telling anyone that rake is low. I don't really want to talk to that type of player - our core market - about rake. I don't really want them to know what they're paying, I just want the ecology to be good for them and to work naturally.
So we aren't competing on price per se, and I don't think that'd work very well because most players don't actually know what the price is. The only people that do know are the 2 + 2 type of player, who are liable to kill our casual players faster, which would defeat the purpose.
I know you play PLO from your post in the rake thread, and that's an interesting case too. I think there might be ecological arguments for rake changes there, which is something that isn't really discussed properly in that thread. I'm going to look at some data and see where we are on that too (no promises!)

There's a four colour deck option already in table settings.
The font size gets too small though and that's something we're looking at.

This is something I've written the specs for. At the moment the developers are busy on the Danish version (hence no update for the past three weeks). Once that's done we'll look at what to put in next, and table tiling/cascading/saving, plus table priority, are what I'm most interested in adding next.

You can't change it at the moment. When we launch the Danish client we'll include a screen before you sit at the table that will let you do this. That release should also fix the crappy login screen we have at the moment.
