Here are some new mods for the new version 2.40 of the Microgaming poker software. You can check your version by going to Menu->About in the client.
If you have 2.39 or earlier, then use the mods in these links:

If you have 2.40 or above, use the mods in this thread.
Here is my new moded table:

all table sizes (including miniview).

Ok, that's it for me. I have not done any table mods so far as I'm waiting for feedback about what would be the best color scheme.
A note on the small cards!
I think the biggest issue with the new client is the small cards. These are not because of my mod. The client has really really small cards. They are terrible and I think a lot of people will complain. Don't complain in this thread, complain to your poker skin. They hopefully will feed back to Microgaming and hopefully they will fix the client.
How the mods are done!
The mods were done with Photoshop. The images for the client are all .png files and Photoshop supports these directly. Rename the .dat file to .png, do the editing and then rename back to .dat. I found that other editors like Gimp, don't save the .png format correctly and cause the poker client to crash, so beware. If you know of any free editors that do the .png files correctly then let this thread know so that we can get more mods happening with free software.
Warning!
I had a few circumstances with editors other than Photoshop, where the graphics file was not saved in the correct .png file format. This caused the cards to be incorrectly displayed in the client. Be very careful when posting mods that you have corrected this.
Having said this, I have not tested every single card in the deck, so please test these mods at the micros (or play money).
Tested on!
Tested on Eurolinx and 32Red.
Future!
I hope to do the following in the future if no-one else does it.
- Table mods
- Copy the sounds from the old client to the new one. The new sounds suck and don't grab your attention.
Have fun and please post all your future mods here!
