everything was seen, nobody seems to like the new look, so neither do I ... I don't know why they changed anything when the old look was great ... I also don't think it can come back, that's how it is 🙂
 
Okay, once again, the look and feel at the tables themselves can be turned back to the 'original feel' - it's been detailed how a couple of times (post#74 above).


The entry lobby (colors and bland look) will remain the same...but what I presume affects most is the look and feel of playing at the tables themselves and this can be re-adjusted.
 
In my first post on this topic, I negatively criticized the new PokerStars graphics. However, improvements are gradually occurring and I have changed my mind. Some changes I really like. I was most surprised by the appearance of the popup for tournament registration. At first it was black and white and glistening, and now it was painted in pastel colors pleasing to the eye. Most importantly, the buy in is the most noticeable, unlike in the previous version where the most important detail was "camouflaged". At the time of promotion of freebuy + R satellites, as is the case now, it happens that I have 4-5 tables on the screen at the same time. My startup menu was sorted by the freeroll tournaments above and as late registration expires I sign up for it and play it at high risk as the screen is cluttered. There is one ugly thing about PokerStars. The most attractive tournaments, which often have high buy-ins, whose name is written in the same color as the mentioned freebuy+R tournaments, cannot be removed from the top of the tournament list. On April 29, 2019, I saw that I was missing a lot of money in my account even though I always played free tournaments and those with minimal buy in. Reviewing the tournament in progress, I noticed that I had registered to buy in the $ 109 tournament and lost all the chips in first hand in all in, without being aware of which tournament I was playing. In the old graphical environment, in the pop up window, the amount of buy in was much less noticeable than it is now in this new one.
I had a similar case on August 22, 2019. but I immediately noticed the error. At least I knew I was playing a $ 215 tournament, and I got off to a good start, but I called two all ins of my opponents and both lost on the river even though I had great hole cards. I lost one hand with AK vs AQ and the other I can't remember now. All I have to do is sort the menu so that my top positioned tournaments are the ones with the biggest buy in. That is how I tuned the lobby until tonight.
Tonight I went back to the old sorting menu because buy in is much easier to spot in a new pop up to register for tournaments.
 
The update probably wouldn't have bothered me as much, if I hadn't recently discovered Twitters dim/dark mode.
Now Twitter seems just right and PokerStars Lobby seems ultra bright. 😱

Hello guys, I have a question. Somebody know why Pokerstars cancelled Sunday Storm yesterday?
It's not like it was cancelled on purpose, there were some technical issues after like 8+ hour of running and they had to stop tournaments and refund everyone according to their policies. It wasn't only Sunday Storm that was affected. Happens from time to time.
 
I can not return the lobby
the program is not responding
Has anyone returned the old look?🧐
 
oof i don't play at PS but that screenie seems like the update would be headache-inducing
very bright.

Мне очень понравилось обновление. Работать очень хорошо. И вид, я думаю, стал еще красивее, чем был раньше.
On the forum write only in English !
 
I'm having trouble connecting to/staying connected to PokerStars since the update.. My internet is not the best, but I wonder if others are having the same issue..
 
The PokerStars client settings allows you to change font and font size, so there is at least that, although it doesn't change all the texts.
 
The new lobby is too bright for me. The day after the change was made last week I complained to Stars they told me it is not possible to change back. Just have to get used to the new look.
 
I really liked the update. The App works very well. The view is much more beautiful than it was before
 
Hi I do not like the new look, but we're going to be if I could go back to what it was😀
 
the eternal question? what was the need to make changes?

it's devs they can't help it
some sorta justification thing
i play online games where the devs introduce some great new content or feature that none of the players asked for and then make people use it even though nobody likes it
i think it's called devcon. devs get together and make shiz up and tell each other it's great and must be implemented. players be damned.
