FTS Table1 Tab
Notes: The settings on this page can be somewhat confusing at first. Please read the instructions carefully. We recommend that you start out with the settings as shown above if you are using tiled tables (not overlapped). This is the way most users like to play, and it provides a very useful way to play multiple tables.
Highlight the Active Table without Pending Action:
When this feature is enabled, a colored box will be displayed around the active table IF there is not pending action on that table. This feature makes it easy to find what table is active (and where your mouse is) when you have many tables displayed. Pending action means that the tables is requiring your action, such as Fold/Call/Bet. I like to set the color to "Lime" for this highlighter.
Colors
The Color of the table highlight can be changed by putting a color in the Color box. The predefined colors are: Silver, Gray, White, Maroon, Red, Purple, Fuchsia, Green, Lime, Olive, Yellow, Navy, blue, Teal and Aqua. In addition you can put in the Red-Green-Blue hex values: for example 0xFF0000 is red, and 0x0000FF is blue. To obtain BLACK: use 0x101010 for the color.
Transparency
This sets the transparency of the highlight display (0-255). For an opaque display, use 255.
Size
This sets the highlight width (in pixels). Numbers in the range of 4-8 work well.
Highlight the Active Table with Pending Action:
When this feature is enabled, a colored box will be displayed around the active table IF there is pending action on that table. This feature makes it easy to find the active table that is needing your attention. I like to set the color to "Red" for this highlighter.
Color
You can specify the color of this display (the color list is given in the previous section).
Highlight (non-active) Tables with Pending Action:
If this feature is enabled, then a the highlight bar is displayed around each Full Tilt table that requires your immediate response. This is useful to easily see the table that are needing attention.
Color
You can specify the color of this display (the color list is given in a section above).
Automatically Activate Tables (group of 5 options):
Do not Automatically Activate Tables
Select this option if you do want the software automatically activating tables that have pending action.
Move the Table with Pending Action to Home Position (use with Cascaded or Tiled Tables)
Select this option if you want the software to activate a table with pending action (e.g. the Fold button is visible) AND move this table to a particular position on your monitor(s). This is handy if you play a lot of tables, and you just want to look at one spot on your monitors. Active tables will automatically be moved to this position on your monitor. After you have acted on this table it will jump back to it's previous position.
Table Home X is the X position that you want this active table moved to.
Table Home Y is the Y position that the table will be moved to.
Table Width is the size that the table will be resized to when it is moved.
Note: Monitor position 0,0 is in the top left hand corner of your main monitor. If you have another monitor to the left, the X value will be negative. If you have another monitor above your main monitor, the Y value will be negative. This positions are in pixels.
Activate the Next Table with Pending Action (use with Tiled Tables)
This is a handy feature when you have multiple tables open, especially if you have your tables tiled, that is, not overlapped (if you use cascaded tables, i.e. overlapped, then you may prefer to use the option discussed below labeled "Automatically Activate Top Table of all Cascaded Tables").
When this option is enabled, all of the tables with pending action are stored in a queue, and when you finish acting on one table the next oldest table requiring action is activated and your mouse is moved to that table (if enabled with an "Move Mouse" option below).
Holding down either Shift key will temporarily disable this feature (of jumping your mouse to the next table with pending action). This allows you to easily move tables or to click on another table, without the software forcing your mouse to jump to the table with next pending action.
Note: If you use this feature, you will probably want to use enable the option "Move Mouse to Home Position if Table Auto-Activates" described below.
Note: If you use this feature with cascaded tables, you may see some screen flicker when a new table pops to the forefront of the pile of tables.
Activate the Next Table with Pending Action AND tables with I'm Back Button Visible (use with Tiled Tables)
This feature is the same as the one above, plus...
If you play multiple SnG or tournament tables, this option is useful for when you time out on a table and don't notice it. This option will put the timed out table into the pending queue and force you to notice that you have timed out. This is particularly useful if you play with your tables cascaded, and the timed out table would not become visible (and stay buried at the bottom of the cascade) without this option. Note that the checkbox labeled "Automatically Activate the Next Table with Pending Action" must be checked for this checkbox to have any effect.
Automatically Activate Top Table (use with Cascaded Tables)
If you play with your tables cascaded (i.e. overlapped), then Full Tilt will automatically bring the next table with pending action to the top of all the other tables (toward the front of the screen). But Full Tilt does not activate the table. This works fine if you are using the mouse to click the buttons on the table. But if you are using the keyboard to "click" buttons on the table, then you need the top table activated, so that your keyboard clicks are directed to the proper table. Enabling this option will cause the top table to become activated automatically.
If you have cascaded tables and you are using mostly keyboard commands, then check this option (and the option below to move your mouse to the active table automatically). But do not enable this option along with the option "Automatically Activate the Next Table with Pending Action".
If you are using cascaded tables and mostly using the mouse to click the buttons on the table, then you probably will not need to enable this option.
In order for Full Tilt to bring your next table with pending action to the top, you need to CHECK the "Display Table on Action" item in the Options menu of the Full Tilt main lobby.
Activate Table when Mouse if Over Table - checkbox
With this option checked, any time your mouse is over a Full Tilt table, that table will be activated. Most users will probably want to check this option. This makes the Display options more useful as the information will be displayed as soon as you mouse over to a different table (and you don't have to click on the table to activate it).
See the notes in the Displays section for related information.
Holding down either Shift key will temporarily disable this feature (of activating the table your mouse is over). This allows you to move mouse around (over tables) without activating any tables.
Move Mouse to Home Position if Table Auto-Activates - checkbox
With this option checked, the mouse will move to it's home position (x,y position also set on this tab) whenever a table activates automatically. Tables can activate automatically with the options described above. Typically you check this option if you are using the keyboard to click buttons on a table. If you are mostly using the mouse to click buttons, then you can leave this unchecked.
Home Position for Mouse - X and Y:
This defines the X and Y coordinates for where the mouse will be positioned on the table if the mouse is automatically moved to a table. Set this coordinate on a large table (800 pixels wide), and the position will be scaled appropriately for smaller tables.
Pos X and Pos Y are positions on the Full Tilt table. The position 0,0 is located at the top left of the table, in the upper left hand corner of the "Get Chips" button. It is not at the top left hand corner of the Windows title bar.
You may want to have the mouse move directly to the position of the fold button (545,505). Since your most likely action is to fold, your mouse will be in position to perform this action.
