GRAPHICS
I would like to make the table a little smaller and add some (shaded) boxes to
positions where the player names and cards appear.
A nice feature would be to separate the table coating, the table itself and
the background so you can easily set up different lookings.
TOP-LAYER TRANSPARENCY
- shaded boxes yes (suitably for the underlying layers)
- table coating yes (green, blue, red, grey...)
- table frame yes (wood, red wood, black wood, steel, plastic...)
- background no (stone, parquet, stoneware, different colored carpets)

It seems to be that the buttons actually were drawn by your programm.
It may be helpful if the buttons would be of a graphical style, perhaps with two
states for some mouse-over effects?

Is it possible to make the cards somewhat smaller and simpler - like on TV,
without a picture on J, K, Q - with only a big sign for the color and a big
number/letter? Round corners possible if you mask out a color or use
trasparency (png, gif) ?

CRUSHER: you are kidding me! what the heck is PAINT? :)
i've done this in PS for v.085a, i'll do it again for >v0.85b because of the
slightly changed GUI.

CRUSHER: would you please explain me, why?
But i don't want to bug you with that!
