also different default sounds would be a +EV move...

It is not possible to roll back to previous PokerStars version.
Currently the sound beeps at the time warning moment, which is 8 seconds left to act for ZOOM and fast ring game tables.
I see what you mean now. We will see how this can be improved. Note that on Desktop your tournament HHs are saved in separate files per tournament, so this is an issue only for mobile.
It actually does this. What operating system are you using?
You can still see the list of tables to the right hand side if you wish to. The goal of the feature is to allow players who don't care about table selection to get a seat with a single click.
This was adjusted in the past year or so and I am not aware of any current plans to increase this time.
We do want to increase the platform support and are looking into different options, but there isn't much that can be shared at this stage.
Both are nice ideas. We are working on better sounds and now that we have the new Table Themes dialog it becomes easier to add chips as well.

I mean, when i'm about to time out in a hand in zoom, the time out sound doesn't play. Instead it plays at random times... very irritating to have no audible warning.
I checked all the sound settings, it's active, but it never plays right before my hand is gonna be folded. Some sort of warning sound would be very appreciated.

Both desktop and mobile have almost the same workaround. Yes, you can request TS for X tournaments, but you can not request HH for X tournaments. And if you request HH of last 12 hours or last 1 week, it doesn't matter time period you are asking for, cause you only get 200 last hands send to email.
All I was asking is ability to request both HH and TS's for X last tournaments, it would be very handy for MTT/SNG players, doesn't matter which client gets it first, because after playing on mobile, you can request HH and TS from desktop app later.

Hello 2+2,
We are planning to release a client update over the next few days that will introduce some new and exciting features. Estonian and .Net clients were already released and rest of clients are planned for the following days. Here are the details:
Table Themes Customization Improvements (Beta)
We are adding more improvements to the ability to customize the look of the tables. We are bringing all customization options into one dialog that is directly accessible from the table:
This dialog replaces the previous Table Themes dialog. Changes:
Table Groups (Beta)
We are making some changes to the way table groups work to streamline the user interface and improve functionality.
The biggest change is that the “Play Now” button (previously “Seat Me”) will now act like Easy Seat – if an empty seat does not currently exist, the player will be progressively added to waiting lists and the system will keep looking in the background for an empty seat at a table of this type. There are plans to even create new tables by seating players who are all using Play Now.
In addition, we have introduced a simpler initial view with a new toggle to see the list of tables and players, and we have removed the expanding/collapsing functionality.
We are making this feature available to real money players, but it is disabled by default. To enable the feature please go to ‘Options’ > ‘Lobby Display Options’ > ‘Group Similar Tables’.
Once the feature is active you will see an On/Off toggle in the main lobby that will allow you to easily revert to previous view. The toggle will only show if you don’t have Easy Seat enabled, due to space constraints.
We would love feedback from players on this feature!
Tournament Color Options (Beta)
We are adding a new menu in the ‘Options’ drop-down called ‘Tournament Color Options...’.
From this dialog you can configure what colors tournaments use in the main lobby and choose to disable certain colors. You can also disable all coloring of the lobby and just have a black and white lobby.
Easy Seat Advanced Options
We are adding the Filter advanced options to Easy Seat that will allow you to specify additional criteria for the tables Easy Seat considers. For example, min average pot, min average stack, etc.
Beta Options Menu
We have added a lot of new functionality over the past few updates and decided to add a new “Beta Options” menu that will allow players to easily see what the latest Beta features are. To access it simply go to ‘Options’ > ‘Beta options’.
As always, there are many small improvements to the existing product offering, especially around ZOOM poker. We are also fixing the tournament lobby update issue.
Note: The above changes would only take effect once your gaming client has been updated, which could happen at different times for different players. Please ensure you are running PokerStarsUpdate.exe to get the update.

We are adding more improvements to the ability to customize the look of the tables. We are bringing all customization options into one dialog that is directly accessible from the table:
- All themes now support multiple felt and background options.
- Custom Felt Color. Don’t like the colors we have pre-selected? No problem, pick your own!
- More visibility to changing the deck front and back design.
- The back design of the deck is not tied to the front design of the deck, so you can mix and match.
- The dialog has a preview area of the table for quick feedback on the changes.
- We have added two new profiles, “All Sit & Go tables” and “All ZOOM tables”. So now you can have different felt color, background or theme based on the type of game. Just select a different profile from the “Apply To” drop-down and apply your changes to that profile.
- An option to apply the changes via the right-click table drop-downs to the current table only, as the default. This is accessed from the lobby via ‘View’ > ‘Right-Click: Apply Changes to This Table Only’.
Table Groups (Beta)
We are making some changes to the way table groups work to streamline the user interface and improve functionality.

Some initial feedback
MTT colour dialogue
-women's events seem unaffected by the options from MTT colour options dialogue
-great feature: very quick & intuitive. would like to be able to select whether specific MTTs are bolded or not but that's nit-picking
Easy Seat Advanced Features
++ great addition
Lobby Table Groupings
- will become easier for multi-level grinders i guess?
- counter-intuitive to have Liv explaining how to see the breakdown of tables in each tab, actually masking the breakdown of tables in each tab
Theme Customisation
- please add chips-sets to this menu
- please add xThemes to this option (allow gx files for xThemes)
- add these two requests and I think you'll have nailed it.

This feature is in Beta and we are tweaking the UI and functionality. We want to get more player input and then see how we can make it better, so it is not ruled out that we won't add support for this.
Thanks for the input!
Re: Lobby Table Groupings: This is really initially aimed at casual players and we want to make their experience more about playing poker and less about navigating hundreds of tables. This is why default view looks more graphical and simple without complexity of table lists and why we have enhanced Play Now to be actually like Easy Seat and persistently search for a seat.
Re: Themes Customization:
* Chip sets would be great, but adding them is more down the road.
* We did make it easier for XThemes to work with the new layout. A new XThemes guide will be uploaded shortly, but sending a PM to BarNuthin can be quicker to get info.
Nice to hear.
I tried it on Win7 and main lobby always remembers size + positioning. Do other players have same issue?
This will be best posted in:

Possible. Also slow connection will sometimes generate a beep when you are UTG since your client has not connected to the new table quickly enough and once you connect you already need to act.
