When I right click it their name pops up but no color options or anything to select from?

Did you extract the zip file properly?

There should be a file called "default_colours.txt" (and a folder called "players"), in the same folder as StarsReads.AHK - this is where it gets the menu options from.

I had moved the files into different folders I think I got it now. Thanks for your help I appreciate it.

is there any quick fix to get your own box not shown?

like is there a hex for "transparent"?

or

is there a quick else statement i can plug to not draw a box around my name?

sorry i'm not too familiar with AHK

Don't know about transparent, but here's a link to all the other hex colors with their codes for inserting.

Personally, even though I use the same seating, I added bright yellow for myself to make it instantly easy to find myself when multi tabling and it pops up. I get lost easy. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

One other note. I am running Vista and found out the program works better if you first tell the ahk program to be run by administrator and....

Dave suggested, and it works better, to put it in my "public" directory since Vista is so touchy about running programs. Never have had any problems, other than when PS does an update.

thanks 1meandog4u, but that's not exactly what i'm looking for

I'll ship $20 on stars to somebody who can do this, as well as my second request (or $10 for each)

#2.
For each table I add, a new green AHK thing pops up in my taskbar (toolbar?) in the bottom right. This is highly problematic if I'm playing a decent amount of tables. Is this necessary and/or avoidable?

KLJ,

a welcome return of old avatar [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] EDIT: haha, it's changed again lol

#1 - I'll put up a new version with the option to *not* draw a box for "hero". It is easy to do, but needs to be done in code - we can't use transparency I'm afraid or the boxes won't "stick" to the table properly.

Personally I use a black (0x000000) box for me, but then I have a jet black theme too - I quite like having what appears to be no border around my name [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

That shouldn't happen - there is a #NoTrayIcon command somewhere I have uncommented for debugging purposes (so I can read the code for each table easily), and I have obviously forgotten to hide the icons again when I uploaded it. Expect this to be fixed tonight too.

sweet. and yeah, it's back again [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] i'll prepare your money

[_dave_]

OK, I just uploaded the 0.3b version [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

<ul type="square">[*]Fixed: Excessive tray icons[*]New: Option to ignore yourself[/list]
Right at the top of the script is a setting, "ignore_hero := 0" - change this to a 1, save/reload - and no highlight will be drawn for yourself on the tables.
