Default Re: Borders

[ QUOTE ]
I added colored borders. Now when a table is recognized as needing your attention, a colored border is drawn around it. Colors gradually shift through black, <font color="blue">blue</font>, <font color="green">green</font>, <font color="yellow">yellow</font>, <font color="orange">orange</font>, <font color="red">red</font> as time elapses. I gave 30 seconds to Fold/Call/Raise and 10 seconds to Show/Don'tShow/Post/Don'tPost. Seems about right.

I also added an option to turn-off these borders. This will probably be a good idea if you have overlap. The borders are done in a very similar style to the blue-bar. (I have ideas about fixing them to act naturally for a user with overlap, as long as that user is using the Popup Blocker. Right now borders are constantly pushed to the top, which is good if you have no overlap.)

Play around with it; tell me what you think.

Cool will take a look later. Been a long weekend and just about to get some sleep, but I just finished off something for AutoResizer which works for overlapped tables and works very similar to the border idea:

I got a little 3x3 grid in the top left of the top left table, and it has the following colour codes:

Black = Empty, no table at this position yet
Grey = Table their, but with no actions pending.
While = Table where you are sitting out.

Dark Green = Table where you have an action on the way soon (ie: fold in turn button is visible)
Bright Green = You have an action at this table.
Orange = You are timing out at this table and have &gt; 12 secs left to act.
Dark Red = You are timing out at this table and have &gt; 8 secs left to act.
Bright Red = You are timing out at this table and have &lt;= 8 secs left to act (I want this to flash eventually too).

I also added a new feature to AR when this little 'AntiTimeout' window is active: If you press the corresponding key on the NumPad, then it will make a blue border round the mini-view table, and then when it comes back round to your turn to post a BB, you will automatically getup and leave the table (it kinda toggle "I want to leave this table after this round" mode - I always wanted this for multitabling, but without this mini view I could never see a good way to do it).

I also looked through the source for how AHK was working out if a checkbox is checked, and now AR can tell the state (thus much safer for this AutoLeave idea, and AutoPost1stBB safer too now).

I also worked out how to keep it on top of everything (lobby, IM, everything - it stays on top of everything...). So you can be looking in the lobby (when I most often 'trance out' and end up sitting out...) or chatting in IM and still see that you not in danger of timing out.

I not quite finished testing it yet and needs some more testing before I post the first alpha. If possible I want to try to make the extra window movable (or a copy on every table in the top left) and make it work in 2x2, 2x3, 3x2 and 3x3 mode (currently it work for anything upto 3x3 mode, but with gaps).

Anyway gonna get some sleep, then will try finish it off and post later today...
