I copied the default play console, and then hit design.
I removed everything except chips on the left (we use 9 colors).
Title at the top
next line has time to break with the countdown (i did make it larger for easier visibilty), cause if I hear how much longer til break i'll friggin lose it!!! Blind level, and time of day
next line is the actual blind, again made bigger.
and then the next blind level on the bottom.
When we were playing last week, someone pointed out that it seems late before the break, we start at 7:45pm, 4 blind increases at 15 minutes each=1 hour, this was pointed out at 8:30 with still 10 minutes til break, holy crap, that was way off!!!
I did some time checks, and it looks like we were losing around 12 secs per minute.
I pulled up the good old ctrl,alt,delete to check what resources were being used on the laptop, and the application was running 97-100% of the systems resources. I switched back to the default screen for play, and viloa! it only uses 26% of the resources??????
What boggles my mind is-The default console has all that information on it, yet runs 26%, mine has a very limited amount of info and is using 100%??????
Anyone know what might be wrong?
Could it be the size of the display, i believe i am using 200 bold for the countdown blind?
I could maybe get a screenshot to show oyu and I will post it later.
Anyone have anything to help me past this problem would be very much appreciated!
I have switched back to the defautl for now.

I had forgotten to mention that the laptop has 194mb RAM, not a lot, but i didn't think the application used very much RAM.

I have tried it on 3 different laptops as well, same problem (some run slower than others)
Again, looking at the display from the main one, I would think it would use a lot less resources than the default that has way more info on it.

Thanks again

I had to make all the fonts smaller, and lose some of the bold (if I left them anyways big).
Got it down to using approx 20-30% of resources, will settle for that.
l8tr!

Oh, wow, now you tell us.

Hmm, may have to rework the consoles as I wait patiently for v3...

Dang... any way to have the software show correct time... our tournaments are already on a very tight schedule, can't have blind increasing slower than they are supposed to!

Otherwise... when is V3 coming out? I seems to have been waiting for ever for it since V2 did not really suit my needs. Last time I check was about 6 months ago and a beta was available for interface design... how much closer are we to release?
