Here are some table modifications for Spin & Go´s so you can focus on playing your best and not being affected by the short term variance.

Why

• More HUD space
  
• Clearer look and feeling - Increased focus and less fatigue. Soothe feeling for the eyes at night
  
• Less tilting- Being less risk and results oriented. Not looking at the Spin Wheel and hoping for a big multiplier and then getting disappointed when you get a 2x for the 18th time in a row.
  
  Not trying to force things or playing scared money when you play different multipliers, which can be overridden by removing the prizepool / changing the background to the same for a specific range of multipliers.

Things that you can modify;

• The spin wheel animation
• The price pool field at the table
• The table logo & spin logo
• The "dealmaking unavailabe" message
• Different colors for different multipliers
• Player positioning
• Deck, table, chips, button
• Sounds

Estimated time
About 30 min for all the modifications

Tools
1. Download TableCrab2 for editing the table file.
Choose the file TableCrab2-0.8.4.zip. If the latest version doesnt work for you, like it did for me, then just choose a previous version. TableCrab2-0.8.1.zip worked for me.) https://code.google.com/archive/p/tablecrab/downloads

1.1 Or use Max Cut tool; http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...ostcount=10663


2. Unpack it with any unzip software. I prefer 7-zip. http://www.7-zip.org/


3.
Run TableCrab2 and go to tools, and then in the left menu choose PokerStarsIniDecrypter. Choose decrypt directory and locate your theme directory and hit decrypt directory.

(Make sure to run Tablecrab as Admin, otherwise it will decrypt the file but not create one. Once you created the file you might have to go to its properties and make sure you have the right to change it, otherwise it wont let you safe changes in it)

• For Nova theme; C:\Program Files (x86)\PokerStars.EU\Themes\nova\green
  
• For Mercury theme; C:\Program Files (x86)\PokerStars.EU\Themes\nova\green\style-P7

4. Go to your directory and open the newly created file; gx-Tc2, with any note editor, preferably notepad++. https://notepad-plus-plus.org/

Mods

Save For the changes not to get reset everytime you run the pokerstars client use PokerStars.exe for running Stars without update. The easiest fix is go to your startmenu -> programs -> pokerstars -> rightclick the client -> properties -> remove Update from the target name.


General Change what you prefer by putting a minus infront of the digits;
table_logo= ; Removes the table logo
table_label= Removes the dealmaking unavailable
message= ; Removes the dealmaking unavailable
spingo-message= ; Removes the spin wheel animation
prize-pool= Removes prizepool at table
prize-pool-control= Removes the spin wheel animation
spingo_bg_color= The bg color for different multipliers, where 115db3 - color for 2x, 00ccff - color for 4x and so on.

(If you dont have the "spingo_bg_color=" in your theme, just add it at the end of the [table] section.)


Sounds To remove sounds download and replace these sound files into this folder; C:\Program Files (x86)\PokerStars.EU\Snd http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php...91396250713618


Logo To remove the Spin logo at the top of the table put these files into your theme folder. Rename the folder to spingo. http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php...30099947723341


Table To remove the table for clearing up more space replace these files into your theme folder. http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php...22459102182105


Players Place the players at the top for less eye movement, quicker overview, and a sweater transition to the HU game / HUD. Big thanks to Max Cut. In your gx.ini under the [3x2] section, change these values. (You might need to tweak it slightly, depending on the seats, cards, etc, you're using.)


Button Increased button size to see your position quicker. Awesome for thoose who multitable.

* Go to your theme button folder. For example for mercury; C:\Program Files (x86)\PokerStars.EU\Themes\nova\green\style-P7\chips&deck\chips

* Choose the chip size you want and copy/replace the other buttons with that one.

* Under [3x2] in your ini file change this line; dealer= 395,35 445,365 353,35

* If you overwrite your modified gx.ini with the one from the theme you have to start over again, test it out to see if you need it or not.

* If you dont have the spingo_bg_color= in your theme, just add it at the end of the [table] section. Like this;
