One of our programmers managed to sneak a few changes to the bet slider into this most recent update. We didn't have time to make nice options out of it, but if you'd like to try it out, instructions are below.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: These instructions will be suggesting registry changes. If you don't know what you're doing you can seriously mess up your system. My suggestion is don't do the below unless you're confident it won't melt your computer and/or kill your dog.

Here are his notes:

"To activate the mouse wheel / bet slider functionality (where you can control the bet slider with your mouse wheel):

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Full Tilt Poker\TableView\

REG_DWORD SliderWheel 1

I have also implemented 3 different slider algorithms for deciding how to map a bet amount to a slider position, and vice versa:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Full Tilt Poker\TableView\

REG_DWORD SliderMode {0,1,2}

SliderMode = 0, is the "classic" mode, i.e. the same old mapping. This divides the slider in two equal halves with linear interpolation on each half around the pot-size as fulcrum. Lame.

SliderMode = 1 is a pure linear slider from 0% = min to 100% = max. This is what most sites use.

SliderMode = 2 is my favored algorithm. It is borrowing the same logic as the slider algorithm from Poker Academy Pro. It uses a logarithmic scale, so that moving the slider at the start is less sensitive, but as you move it towards 100%, the amount increases exponentially.

And finally:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Full Tilt Poker\TableView\

REG_DWORD SliderClick 1

In the regular slider, clicking anywhere on the slider instantly moves the slider nub to the spot clicked. With SliderClick active, clicking to the right of the nub increments the amount by a big blind, and clicking on the slider to the left of the nub decrements the amount. Clicking and dragging the nub still works as before."

So give the various options a try and let us know which you like. It's likely we'll just offer all possibilities as options anyway, but some idea of what you guys prefer would help us choose what the default settings should be.

Does the wheel adjust bet size on the active table, or the way it should be; on the table over which the cursor is at?

Hey Doug,

Is there any chance Full tilt will also make the option available to keep your balance in Euro's just like party? Keep the games in $, but keep your balance in your euro currency for the euro players. This way we don't have to suffer rate exchange, and the devaluation of the dollar.
I am thinking about switching over to a eurosite, like unibet or party and I know a lot of Dutch players who hate the dollar and want to play in euro's and are thinking the same.
If you keep this option I will for sure stay at fulltillt. It is the best site by far.

Kind regards,
Timmehhh

Done all of that and it just seems to scroll the chat box!

Might be a bit more effort but I opened a Foreign Exchange account and keep a hedged position against the Dollar of approximately the size of my bankroll. When margined the amount of money you need to have in the account is not that great.

So when the exchange rate changes my profit/loss on my bankroll in $ is offest by my profit/loss in my currency trading account.

It all works great. I prefer the linear slider, but that could just be that I'm used to it.

You can use bet pot or poker pad AHK scripts to do the same thing if you don't want to mess with the registry.

Any way to accomplish this on the Mac client?

Same here, can't get the mouse wheel to change bet amounts. Click slider is working though

Yeah, I've got the click slider working....just not the wheel

Do you need to create those registry? because when I go to regedit and to the folder I don't see any of these options.

I just want a Stars-Like slider, no wheel (got FT Shortcuts). Is this possible?

Yes, you need to create it. The clicker works for me but not wheel scrolling.

Try turning on highlight bet amount. If your not in the chat when the action comes to you this should work, works fine for me

Woot - that's done it.

Superb bit of kit FTP!
