User interface improvements


•
The whole UI is cleaner and more compact
•
Freemium texts, subscription texts and buy buttons are adjusted on all tabs
•
Detailed subscription texts aren't shown anymore on the views, we don't want any
unnecessary info and want to save space,
so only the important limit and search count are visible and if you want to check more
details you can check it with tooltips right near the important info
•
SnGOpener and SnGOpener Pro is handled separately,
so when SnGOpener is active then you see only SnGOpener specific “Buy Now” or
“Upgrade” buttons, freemium or subscription texts, etc, and when SnGOpener Pro is
active then you see SnGOpener Pro specific stuff
•
Lightning speed's tooltip font size is increased
•
Freemium texts are smaller
A little application speed boost (we aren't proud yet, but better than nothing)
•
login tooks 10-15 secs, now it's 7-8 secs
•

of any other PokerStars instances
example: If you start a PokerStars EU version and SessionLord is connected to it then
while you playing and for some reason just starting another PokerStars eg.: a PokerStars
IT version when you exit from that IT version SessionLord is still connected to the EU
version, so you can keep on playing without any interruption

• There is a new On/Off button on the SngAutoColoring tab and that starts or stops
only the auto coloring
• notes for the above-mentioned redesign
▪ Auto coloring does table scans like the registration,
so we can see its table selection jumps in the PokerStars Lobby
and some refreshing on “See What SnGOpener is doing”on the SnGOpener tab
even if SnGOpener's session or registration are turned off
▪ We don't need any session starting trick for unknown player collecting,
like “keep 0 tournaments open” session option with session start if we want only
auto coloring
