From TableNavigator site on overcards:

Setting up the AttentionQueue for Stars, Absolute & Pacific

The buttons (Fold, Check, Raise etc) on some sites don't have names (like on Party, for instance). Therefore instead of checking whether a certain control is visible, we check the color of a certain pixel. Since the background color of the table and the color of the button or different (obviously), we can determine whether the button is visible.

Unfortunately this means that the AttentionQueue can't work with overlap on these sites (or only very little overlap since the pixel we're checking has to be visible (not-overlapped) at all times) . It also means that you'll have to do some configuring since what with different mods (and different table sized on Stars) the color of the pixel we're checking won't be the same for everyone.

Basically, we just check if the "Fold" button is there (since it is always there if you act). Luckily the "Post" button has the same position usually, so we don't have to check for it seperately (this is probably true for the "Show Cards" button, but I didn't bother to check - I doubt many people show their hands while multi-tabling).

So, to enable the AttentionQueue for one of these sites, open a table and take a seat. Then, go to the "Miscellanious" tab in the Configuration Gui and click on the button to the right of the site name. Then, wait for the "Fold" button to appear on your table. Now when you right-click on it while holding down Control, the color of the pixel as well as it's position will be saved (you'll notice that the mouse will move away briefly - we have to because most buttons have a different color when you mouse over them). The pixel you click on should be clearly of a different color then the table background for best results.

Finally, a note on Stars. The buttons on the so-called "Hyper-simple theme" (and possibly others, I didn't dowload them all) are mono-color, which makes dynamic support for re-sizing tables possible. The buttons on the default theme on the other hand aren't which makes it impossible to say with certainty which exact pixel will have which color when the table is resized. Therefore you can choose between dynamic support and normal support. For dynamic support, the configuration has to be done when the table has the default size. For non-dynamic mode, he configuration has to be done once the table has been re-sized (and the AttentionQueue won't work for any other sizes).
