Speaking purely for myself, it's not so much the indicator that tilts me, rather it's the size and placement of the timebank button (at least in the Hyper Simple theme). It's far too large and encroaches far too much on the betting buttons. I appreciate all the other improvements to the software, but the old, round button with the countdown inside it was so much less intrusive than the new version as far as I'm concerned.

ya it overlaps on my custom theme based off hypersimple as well a bit annoying....however i'm almost positive you can move it around by editing the values in the gx.ini but you need to decrypt it first and it will largely be trial and error.

if you want i can post a link showing u how to do this and where u can DL a program to decrypt/encrypt the gx.ini

Been covered, but I just want to say a huge THANK YOU for the bet slider/pot % changes, makes playing Stars on an ipad + teleport very very playable

ktx,

The problem for me isn't that it overlaps. I'm using the unmodded, original version of hypersimple - it's simply that the button is too big, too close to the bet buttons, and the wrong shape.

There used to be a really good visual distinction between the buttons that were responsible for betting, and the button that was responsible for timebank - both in terms of its positioning and its shape. That distinction has been completely undone in the latest update by placing it right next to the betting buttons and chaning it to the standard lozenge/rounded rectangle shape. From a usability and a use-of-space standpoint the updated timebank button represents a huge step backward imo.

nope - mine looks like this. The position is just far too close to those other buttons for my liking. Plus it just looks butt ugly. A screen shot may not quite do justice to how distracting it is in-game when you're playing 15+ tables though.

Who's idea was it to choose red and pink as the colors for color coding, anyway? They badly need to change this. Either change them to colors which actually CONTRAST, or set it up so we can choose the colors ourselves in the options menu.
Still waiting on a response to this. PS reps continue posting in here without acknowledging posts about this whatsoever. It's so incredibly simple to fix, there's no reason why it shouldn't be done.

i had exactly the same , 30 becomes 3 , 40 becomes 4 and so on ... there is simple not enough space on the round button to show two digits

It seems that I have less time deciding with the ''status bar'' going down to see when you timeout whenever you dont click timebank

Can a PStars Rep verify this??

What??? You can pick whatever color you want..

Double click player -> Go to the bottom of the note color and select "Edit Player Note Label"

Done...

He means in the lobby, the color coding of tables you are sitting on, or waiting on.

Has anyone looked to see if the colors are in an .ini file somewhere, like the note colors? As much as this apparently means to king_nothing, it might be worth it for him to poke around in there.

Sit & Go Auto-Close Option should not close the table instantly, I love how it doesnt steal focus the second I bust, but I'd like a
[x] table stays open for __ seconds..

We read every post in this thread, so rest assured that your posts are not being ignored. We just do not comment on upcoming features or whether we will implement a feature or not. That said, yes, the colors can be improved.

The time you have to decide has not been changed, so players still have the same amount of time to make decisions as before.

I am missing some mtt SNG tournament summaries too. I thought it may have been because they were running, but they have since finished. I would also like to see an SNG launcher for starting multiple games. Besides that, good work on the update.
