Whilst I concur, there is limited space on the table as it is at the moment; that's going to be limited further when on a 7,8 and 9-seat layout.
With the current layout there should be sufficient card showing under the bottom of the pod / hud to serve this function.
*edit* just re-read, this could def be a solution as long as sizing accommodates; I would be slightly concerned with the issue with HUDs that do not support transparencies.

Also agree on this one.
Initial issue I have run into is that the hero seat frame is shifted below the bottom of the table to so as not to take up too much space, not look incongruous and to slot the actual pod element (name & stack) snug to the bottom of the table.
If the pod element was at the bottom of the frame then it would effectively not show on the table for the hero. Not a huge issue as a dummy pod could be built into the underlying table graphic; however, the empty-seat image will be centred on the centre of the current seat frame (uses the same gx.ini co-ordinates). If this centre is too low then obv it will look fubar for when the hero seat is empty (observing tables / table selection).
While there are work-arounds and it is something I will tinker with (have a few solutions in mind) I was a wittle bit impatient and went straight from rough hash idea to working alpha so I could get my fingers dirty.
tl;dr obv
cheers for the comments and feedback so far.
I will be trying a few different variants and see what sticks...or perhaps roll out a customised installer.
Urrm, modders - I need the 414 on cardbacks and card layers..
Can we no longer display cardbacks over the seat pod? Had a quick test with cardlayer settings but no joy - obv we screamed for displaying hardbacks under the seat pod, now the default...did we lose the option of which it is?
*edit* forgot my manners ^ please, and ty x
