[PokerStars] Software Improvement Thread - Page 223 - PokerStars: General discussion -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Am I missing something? I put this in the other "color notes" thread but it seems to be ignored. I've clicked everything, including my two heels together and can't figure out how to change the "custom label #1" to something I want, or how to change the color options to colors more to my liking.... like ones I can actually see!! I know it's something obvious, just be kind

im not at home right now so i cant check exactly but you can change the custom label AND the colours via stars menus. I think its under View and about Half way down called something like "Custom Labels" or something (i know i got the details wrong but its there in the menus)

i like how we can change the colours as well, when you find the menu option to change the names you click the colour and theres a popup letting you change the colour so if, for example, you want 3 types of green to code your fishes in and 3 types of red to separate bad/average/good tags the you can do that.

Thx. Found it and edited it. Now, if the box were just big enough to see the color, it would be perfect. It's a shame they waited all this time to add color to the notes, but it's so small that except for red and blue, all the rest look the same color. Any tint of green or blue almost all look the same... yellow... forget about it, it looks white at the table. The icon is 14x14 pixels. I tried making it bigger and it didn't like it. Please make it bigger. Especially when multi tabling, it's almost invisible.

I dont' mind it on certain table themes...because the whole box is that color...but some themes the box is only outlined.

Sorry that sentence doesn't make much sense...i'm tired.

And your welcome

Big thanks for the colour-coded notes. It was a long time coming, but it's a great implementation, been using it to great effect already. The coding at the table is little hard to see when the tables are small, so some other optional identifier like suggested above (such as colouring in the ring) would be appreciated.

I can't get to testpokerstars.com right now, but 4-max tables sounds like the nuts. Would be a whole new game for LHE. Any timeline on 4-max tables coming to real money games?

There should be an option to make the icons on the players on the game table bigger. Right now it's just that tiny little N with a square around it. I'd like it to be a lot bigger, maybe take up half the size of the player icon. It should at least be customizable. And you should be able to color code them without writing a note. Just a simple click, add color and choose the color.

I think they are almost as good as what we are planning (eventually - not this release).

Whilst I am pleased to see the new colour coded notes improvement, I don't see how the above applies. Full Tilt's system is slightly better, and Stars' system is literally the same concept...

It is a welcome step in the right direction though. Thank you Stars!

wtf is with breaks 2 minutes into NLHE turbo SnG MTTs? Playing in a $6.50/45 and this is the first time I've seen it.

I mean, one break 30 minutes in is ******ed let alone one in the first minute or so.

the size of the colored icon is too small to really use it. we multitablers need big and bold color-indication!

please consider one of these option to display player-colors:

I'd also like to suggest to make the color codes mouse wheel sensitive the way they are on FTP. If you want to code a certain player you just double click him, go however many klicks down on your mousewheel and you're done. Right now it's double click - klick the color code box - klick the color - put down a "dot". A wee bit too much klicking for multitablers.

You can change the note files to your liking if you have any photoshop skills. My tables look like your first picture.

Already asked but since I did not receive any answer :

Resize the table so they can fit nicely common resolution screen like 1900 * 1200 with no overlap and no empty splace

and like everyone :

make normal table to 40bb min and add cap table for shortstackers

it should save my note about a player even if i didnt write someting in it!!

so it would be nice to be able to mark players by a color without the obligation to write something in it... way faster

People, if you want to note a player without making a note just tap the spacebar, than u have to color for the player.

And when is the lobby coming out like 2-3pages ago with the white/blue colors?

I use the simple theme base so the files I modified are in Program Files > PokerStars > themes > Ordinary > label

note.a.bmp is solid black.
note.bmp is solid white.
note-base.bmp is solid black with a gray circle where I wanted the color to appear. The lighter the circle the less you will be able to see through it. I just used trial and error to get it lined up.

The three images are about 200x200 pixels I think
