Is there any to display the pip count continuously in eXtreme Gammon 2 as it does discreetly in GNU and right in your face in Galaxy? I know you can display it through the action tab or with shortcut keys, but it would be good if it was always available at a glance.

A few more issues with this one.

I can show the pip count and it is still showing when I close and then reopen programme, but when I restart my computer after an overnight shut down the pip count is not showing and I have to set it up again? I am selecting "Apply" then "OK" every time I reset it

I also have it set to show the pip count and the EPC, but it does not show the EPC it only show the number of checkers already taken off which is not much help.

Am I missing something?

Edit - it does not always save the settings after closing and reopening the programme. I Just reopened XG after about an hour and the settings were not saved.

All sorted now. I was playing in competition mode which does not show the pip count.
