Default Re: My Experience at Hollywood Poker (PokerRoom) thus far

Here is a long and painful method to get GameTime+ to work with Pokerroom skins.

Once you do this, it remembers it for future session.


First go to options-preferences and disable avatars. You don't need the characters and you would prefer more screen real estate for GT+ stats.

Now the problem with not being able to drag the stats to the correct location is the Pokerroom software siezes control of the mouse as soon as it enters the table area. So you need to be able to get the mouse on top of the player stat you want to move without Pokerroom thinking you've moved the mouse over its table.

There are two ways. One that is hit and miss is to put your mouse directly over a player stat and then hit ALT-TAB to go to another application, and then ALT-TAB back without moving your mouse.

The other more annoying but definite way to do it is to open an application like Notepad. Resize it and position it so it overlaps the pokerroom game table right at the players stat you want to move. Then go to notepad and click to activate it. Slowly drag your mouse to the edge of notepad and ever so slightly onto the players stats in the GT+ overlay. If you do it right you'll see the GT+ stats drop and you click and drag and position it where you want. Then move the notepad window to overlap the next players stats. And repeat.

You'll find that you may need to make minor adjustments later on, because where you thought was a good placement for stats will cover your cards when you sit in that particular seat.
