Hello Andrew, after initially disliking the client change, I have gradually warmed to it and actually see lots of potential in it. Fortunately for myself, the black screen of death and disconnections seem to be a thing of the past since 2.0 came in. Sorry to all those who now suffer from these disconnections. I know how frustrating it can be.
Just a few suggestions and thoughts on the client. I have posted these in the community forum but would like to bring them on here as this seems to be your main response forum.
One thing I've noticed is that the blind information at the top of the window doesn't include antes when they kick in. Like in this picture it's 200/400 with a 50 ante but the at the very top the blind info makes no reference to the antes being in play.
Also the font in the game info box is far too small imo. You have these big chunky cards and action buttons then these tiny figures to the left with plenty of space around them to enlarge. If I was a bit older and my eyesight was not the best I'd have no chance of making them out!
Also the fade look of the lobby isn't very easy on the eye and makes browsing the tournament lobby a bit of a ball ache. This following screenshot is when the client window is maximised. There is a huge amount of wasted space here and I'm not sure why this isn't used up with a widened list of tournaments which would be much more convenient rather than the limited view we have here. Even when the client is at its normal sizing the fading at the top and bottom just doesn't look good.
Hope this is constructive feedback anyway. Thanks for reading.
