The whole point is that you instantly recognise that you are at a final table, just as instantly as know you have a good hand when you have AA. You shouldn't have to waste braincells trying to figure out if it is an FT or not.
This wouldn't be a problem, but when you make a custom background, it applies to FTs as well. Obviously redesigning new FT backgrounds is a lot of work so can you simply have the option not to have custom backgrounds apply to final tables as then I can make something that looks completely different for non FT tables.
when you select a custom graphic for your table the client saves a copy of that image at the preferred dimensions. The can be found
Code:
c:\users\username\appdata\local\pokerstars\bg
or
Code:
~/library/application support/pokerstars/bg
depending on what theme you are using there will be separate images for the regular backgrounds and final tables.
so taking nova as an example they are bg.jpg and bg-on.jpg found in the
Code:
c:\program files\pokerstars\themes\nova\green
or
Code:
applications\pokerstars.app\contents\resources\themes\nova\green
folders
so, use the client to apply custom background.
copy these images from the 1st set of folders to the theme's directory.
back up the original images that the theme uses
rename your custom ones to the relevant names and bush...bash...bosh you're set.
