I'd like to tile 4 tables onto my laptop screen but the HUD size reamins the same whether the table is shown full screen or as a tile. Is there a way that the HUD can reduce it's size along with the rest of the table? Without this then tiling doesn't work as the HUD just takes over the table view. I use Full Tilt or 888 as my poker sites.

To have HEM change your HUD size according to table size go to HUD Options ---> Player Preferences. Select the HUD configuration you wish to edit then select the appearance tab. Here select the "scale font" checkbox. Press apply then OK.

Thanks but all that did was make the HUD larger not smaller!! Any other suggestions?

Try to lower the font size. It's at the same page as the "scale font" checkbox.

This should work.

Thanks JP but the font size is already at 8 which is the lowest. The problem is that the box does not reduce in size in line with the table size - so that stays the same when the table size reduces from full screen. Doing the suggestion of the 'scale font' actually made it worse!

Appreciate the help though.

You can lower your font size further than 8. Just manually change the size of font in the top box rather than from selecting from the numbers below.

OK thanks I'll give it a go. But will the box size reduce? And why when I clicked the 'scale font' box like you suggested did it make it worse?

If you need to make the boxes smaller then lower your font size or you could try choosing a different font. Times New Roman/Calibri is a lot smaller than Arial/Verdana. Also bold fonts take up more space than regular.

Note: the default font is Verdana BOLD

Also some players find using multiple panels can help when they are struggling for space.

Again thanks but that's not it. In full screen my HUD boxes are a certain size and look fine. When I try and tile tables (so the table size is reduced to a quarter of the full screen) the HUD boxes (fonts etc) remain exactly the same size. Why do the HUD boxes not reduce proportionately?

Not saying this is what you are looking for exactly...

You can change the separator bars from the / to |. That might help make some more space for you. You could DL this guys HUD to give it a try.

The box appears smaller than what is shown in the pic. Of the three he has listed there I have only tried the nlsixmax.xml.

Hope I have helped some what. /shrug

Try updating your graphics card driver to see if that solves your problem.

Sorry but does that not contradict RDB post (#8) where he said that this wasn;t the case and he had got it the wrong way round?
