Basic options
Fonts
The Fonts section allows you to customize the various fonts on the PokerStars tables.
In order to make the setting, open the table (it is not necessary to play, you can only open it for observing), select the parameter in the Table element and change the parameters in the Font settings . You can turn on the parameters and change the values there to your liking, the changes will be immediately visible on the tables. If you want to return some parameter to the default value, then turn off the corresponding checkbox and reopen the table.
For each font, you can separately enable and configure the change of the font name (Change font name), its size (Change font size), thickness (Change font weight) and color (Change font color). Opacity from 0 to 255 is also available for font color.
The following fonts are available for customization:

Folded / Sitting out player
These options are intended for setting the dimming of folded / sitting-out players. In order to change the setting relative to the default, enable the corresponding checkbox and change the opacity value. This is the semi-transparency value, it will go from 0 (completely invisible) to 255 (completely opaque).
Pod opacity - pod opacity.
Nick opacity - nickname opacity.
Stack opacity - stack opacity.
Pod brightness - pod brightness.
If you set all four values to 255, then folded players will not be darkened in any way and will differ from non-folded players only by the absence of cards.
Disable all transparency - disables all semi-transparency on the table (except for elements that are controlled by the Folded / Sitting out player options). Semi-transparent elements require significantly more rendering resources, especially when using software rendering. If Aurora's tables are not rendered very quickly for you, try removing all transparency and see if at least a little helps or not.
Full faced cards - makes face up hero cards and villain cards on showdown on top of pods. If you don't see your stack with this option, then use the Layout editor / Move elements / Player elements / Faced cards options to move them up (as well as the Bet option there to move the hero's bet up if the cards start to block the bet).
Move elements
This tab contains options for moving various table elements, as well as for resizing some of them.
Player elements
Here are the options for moving items that are tied to individual players at the table.
Moving is done individually for each seat (Seat 1 - Seat N) at each of the table types (2max - 9max).
In order to move the element you need, first select the type of table and a seat at this table. For example, in the screenshot above, the center seat at the bottom (Seat 4) at the 6max table is selected.
Next, select one of the elements in the Player element list, enable the Change position checkbox and change the x and y coordinates. If at this moment you have a table of this type open, then this element will move around the table and you can visually select the desired location for it. For elements that are not always displayed for all players on the table (such as open villain cards, button and bets), it is more convenient to configure them in the replayer. Play several hands on the table or just open a table for observining and wait a couple of circles, open the replayer, rewind your hands there and find situations convenient for setting - for example, when both the button and the bet are displayed at the position you need, you can put a replayer on pause and everything is conveniently configured for these two elements.
In the current version, the following items are available for customization:
Pod - player's pod. If you plan to move the pods, then first of all move them, since the coordinates of all other elements are set relative to the position of the pod and they will also move when you move it.
Bet - the player's bet.
Button - button.
Bounty - bounty.
Hole cards Hold'em - hole cards in hold'em.
Hole cards Omaha - hole cards in Omaha.
Hole cards Stud - hole cards in the stud.
Hole cards other games - hole cards in other types of games.
Faced cards Hold'em - face up cards in hold'em. This setting controls both the hero pocket cards and the position of the open opponent cards on showdown.
Faced cards Omaha - face up cards in Omaha.
Faced cards Stud - face up cards in the herd.
Faced cards other games - face up cards in other types of games.
Note icon - the icon of the text note.
The Reset position button is designed to restore the default values of coordinates.
Table elements
Here are the options for moving common table elements.
To move the required element, select it in the Table element list, enable the Change position checkbox and change the x and y coordinates. If at this moment you have a table of this type open, then this element will move around the table and you can visually select the desired location for it.
In the current version, the following items are available for customization:
Pot - the total pot in the center of the table above the cards on the board.
Current pot and sidepots - the current pot and sidepots under the board cards. I didn't add options to move each sidepot individually, so they all move at the same time.
Board - board cards.
Player note menu - the player's menu for selecting a note. In Aurora, this menu is an element of the table and it cannot be raised above the HUDs of other programs, which can lead to the fact that it will be completely obscured by them. This option is designed to move this menu to the specified table position. You can free up some space on the table (for example, its center) from StarsCaption HUD and HUDs of other programs and set the coordinates here so that this menu appears there.
Time bank button - time bank button.
Show Aurora tooltops in HUD popup - displaying tooltips in the StarsCaption HUD popup. Tooltips in Aurora are also not separate windows, so they will always appear under the HUDs of other programs. If you use PokerStars notes and you like watch them in tooltips by hovering over the notes icon, then this option will allow you to watch them over HUDs. It disables the display of Aurora's native tooltips, and instead shows them in a separate window - in the same one that is used to display HUD popups (HUD / Player panels / OnHover).
For this option to work correctly, the PokerStars client must be configured to run as admin.
Note icon
Here are the options that allow you to change the size of the note icons.
Resize a square - resizes the colored square behind the note icon.
Resize an icon - resizes the note icon.
The tooltip's trigger area also expands with the increaseing any of these elements.
You can move the note icon using the Move elements / Player elements / Note icon option
