A lot of people have 1600x1200 displays, something like 530x385 should work for them

This sounds sweet.....

I prefer playing 3x3 without any layers (that actually worked ok even with the standard layout) on that same screen resolution. Not much room for hud then obv. In fact if I keep the size as is, but simply nudge some stuff so theres more room for hud that would be best solution for 3x3 @ 1280*1024 I think.

I'm not going to be editing the focus steal in the near future so I can't say anything on that subject. One thing I would _really_ like to do is to disable their focus steal that **** tilts me like theres no tomorrow.

I will certainly pay for this as well (via Moneybookers).

I say go for the 512*400 table (pic in the OP) to make 3x3 tables fit on a 1920/1600*1200 monitor. Maybe just 10 pixels smaller in height to give some extra room.
Those people that have a 1680*1050 resolution can still have 2x3 tables with that table size.

Another solution would be to make 2 (or more) different layouts. #1 for the 1200 people to have 3x3 and #2 for the 1050 people to have 3x3. Is this possible?
What about modding the normal tables?

What kind of an application will this be? An ahk-script? A software like iBolide or iPskinner? Something else?



This is good too.



edit: Any time frame yet? Out before '09?

This will be a simple exe.
Yeah Im gonna make several layouts after im done with testing the different skins Im gonna make a 500x500-ish one. Which brings me to some less awsome news; looks like not all skins will be supported esp in the beginning since they each differ a bit in the way they configure their layout, and my mod is not _that_ robust atm. Im gonna start with 4 or 5 skins orso. Atm noiq and cdpoker seem to be working fine. Shouldn't take too long before I can start a beta for noiq/cdpoker (I started off with CD, I know its not super popular) gonna add other skins as we go. I will see what is doable.
Not planning on modding normal tables tbh, theres too much going on on them. The small ones give me enough trouble as is.

thanks everyone for comments/suggestions

in other news; daves betpot have been reported to work just fine even in not-expanded view w/ betsizing etc wich is awsome

stay tuned

this would be awesome

500x500-ish? Care to elaborate?

So, are you planning to make this work on MOST skins?
I'm only worried because I play on a... well, let's say it's not a top-5 most popular skin.

500x500 ish meaning I have to go through all the resolutions ppl posted above and pick a size that would be best suitable for the majority... Ok I just had a peek at the resolutions above and my "500x500ish" might be abit off. Please ignore I said that. I need to go through the resolutions again more thoroughly.

Im planning to support as much skins as possible within reason. Just like everyone I only have 24h in one day. My guess would be starting off with 4 or 5 biggest.

My suggestion would be to start a pole and see who is actually interested at each site and who's willing to help you test.

I think and hope that finding a couple of people to test shouldnt be aproblem tbh, like maybe two/three guys per skin would do the trick. And figuring out what the 5 biggest skins are shouldnt be rocketscience either. So I think a poll is not really called for tbh.

I might be wrong though. We'll see.

Oh .. I just had a thought, will this screw up the tablehighlighter script ?

If the script depends on window sizes it could.

12tables on 1680x1050 possible? it will be nice

i will literally buy YOU and xmas present AND leave u mince pies and some milk, and pay you money if you make this work on chili poker, for the love of god these tables have been the bane of my life!!!!!!

pokah, chili is probably gonna be next skin supported.

I am currently looking for a couple of people to test the beta. If you play 6max on CDPoker or NO IQ poker PM me plz if you want to betatest.

i can beta when u get it up for hansa

How can you see what going on with sush small tables?

you are actually better than the real santa clause. I can't wait!

533 * 390 would be optimal on a 1600*1200 imo. It would fit 9 tables perfectly (minus a couple of pixels) on a 1600*1200 screen. If 6 tabling on the same screen the height is not that important.

He shouldn't imo, it is better to mod the script to fit the table, than the table to fit the script.

Dave's bet pot works.

During the time (albeit short) I tested it daves betpot indeed seemed to work.

Also. People playing on Chili Poker who want to betatest can PM me please.

-Chili seems to work fine, except the chat style. It just wont cooperate for now. So you will have that pink chat. But it will still be nudged and bigger like in the OP.

Some more preview pics...


A simple installer:

this looks awesome...so what size do the tables come out at? on full-tilt my table size is: 16.5cm x 12cm....does that sound right....

2560*1600 for pokerplex pls.
