Player's names are displayed with different background colours (blue, yellow, red, white etc...) with different meanings.
IMHO it would be very useful to have different background or letter colours, or any other sign, to show the player's claimed level (Expert, advanced, intermediate, beginner or private).

Acknowledged; I am dubious, but will discuss this w/Fred

Many thanks, Uday.

I am thinking as a kibitzer, who could know quickly what is the level of a table.
I think it is also interesting for a player to know quickly if he wants to join a table.

Interesting suggestion, but I think the current colours are best..afterall it could lead to too many colours? Even if you have 2 sections per name, top = self rating colour and bottom = friends/enemy rating, it could be a bit intimidating.....

Since its all self ratings, perhaps having the table host colour the table is better. ie, the table name has a colour, according to the type of oppos the host wants...

This kind of information has been discussed before. The problem is still the additional table information is not displayed unless you point specifically on that to the left. - And most players just jump into an empty seat and let come what may. If they dont like it - nothing prevents them to leave quickly jumping into somewhere else.

Displaying the table-info pointing to an empty seat will probably solve the matter. Fine-tuning can be done displaying partner info in this way:

Pointing to table: Display host-ID + table discription
Pointing to North: Display South-ID + table discription
Pointing to South: Display North-ID + table discription
Pointing to West: Display East-ID + table discription
Pointing to East: Display West-ID + table discription
If partners seat is empty: Display host-ID + table discription

Above rules looks clear to me - and ought therefore to be no really problem to put into programme. It is a simple decision table - and that it what programmers likes best!

My aim is to see quickly what players have at least an advanced level.

First I thought of a different background colour.

I imagine now another solution : hit a button or configure a setting to get only advanced-and above-level players' names displayed.

By that day I intend to change my skill level into world class - how about that Erkson?

Hi, Claus.

As a matter of fact it is not a problem because most players rank themselves correctly.
