NICE.

I've switched to the new black design as well. And it's added 2bb/100 to my game!*

I've never tried changing my themes before. Now that I have the table seems less distracting with the right theme. Its weird but I can focus more if the background isn't so busy.

I love the new lobby. Long overdue. Haven't decided on a theme yet, but I do like the black design.

 

[beardyian]

I still like the original one - ive maybe not tried the new long enough

I just changed to the HyperSimple theme and replaced the blue background with a gradient black, similar to the lobby background. Took about 10 seconds to do and is a decent compromise until I can do better.

Teach me how to do this pleeeeeaaaaasssseeee!

BTW I love the new black lobby, but unfortunately I can't use it as my auto register script doesnt work with it for my cash tables .

Yes kudos on the updated lobby - holy heck that other one was tiring. Yes there could be more improvements but hey, it's a start.

Try the saloon skin for your tables, it's cool.

All I did was replace the background with a gradient I created. There is a Background button in the Themes selection dialog box, if you choose the HyperSimple theme you can click that Background button and select a background image. I used graphics software to create the gradient (I use Gimp, you can use Photoshop, Paint.NET, or whatever) in the same size and format (.bmp) as one of the stock Stars background images (bg.bmp).

I had started to work on a real theme to match the lobby, including the glossy black & red buttons and such, but it was going to be time consuming with all the little graphics fragments required, and with no real documentation I could find other than a brief writeup on the web. Then I found this theme on 2+2 that came close enough to satisfy me until I have the time or inclination to build my own theme from scratch. By then somebody else may have beat me to it anyway.

(Not sure the policy of direct-linking to a "competing" forum, so if you want to download it and read instructions on how to install it, go the Software forum at 2+2 and search for the topic "[Theme] pokerstars - Dark Gloss (Free)", or PM me for the forum link if you can't find it).
