Timer display

The timer screen is yours to shape. You can change what it shows, set custom fonts and colors, put a background image behind it — per level or across the whole tournament — and rearrange the content itself.

This page covers the Show… menu, which handles what’s displayed and how it looks. Three companion pages cover the layout:

Screen contents — rearranging the cells the timer is built from
Widgets — the ready-made blocks you can drop in
Content — the named text items behind every cell

Tap the display settings icon (Show…) in the top app bar. The sheet is split into two sections — Show, for what the timer displays, and Customize, for how it looks — with Go to level above both, for jumping the tournament to another level.

Show

Pick one of these; it decides what the timer screen is showing right now.

Current level — the countdown, blinds, and level information
Seating — the current table layouts with player positions, when the tournament has tables in play
Payouts — the prize distribution

Each has its own layout, so the Payouts screen can be arranged completely differently from the countdown.

Customize

Font — a custom font for the timer text
Font color — a custom text color; clear the selection to return to the default
Background color — a solid background behind the timer; clear the selection to return to the theme default
Background image — an image behind the timer content, drawn edge-to-edge and cropped to fill
Screen contents — turns edit mode on
Show/hide chips — the chip stacks along the edge of the screen, when the tournament has chips
Show/hide tables — miniature table diagrams showing seating, when tables exist
Show player photos / Show player names — how seated players appear on those diagrams. This one is a single setting for the tournament rather than a per-level choice

Choosing what a change applies to

Each customization sheet has an Update: control that decides how far the change reaches:

this level — only the level you’re viewing
all blind levels, all break levels, or all pregame levels — every level of that type
all levels — every level in the tournament

This lets you set a calm blue background for breaks and an energetic red one for blind levels. The same control appears when you save a screen contents edit.

QR code

Two separate entries control the QR code that lets other devices watch a live, read-only copy of the timer:

Create QR code / Delete QR code — creates or removes the join code for the tournament. Deleting is permanent; creating one again mints a fresh code.
Show QR code / Hide QR code — shows or hides the code on this device only, without touching the code itself.

See QR code sharing for the full picture.

Reset and import

Reset to defaults appears once a tournament has customizations. It opens a list of exactly what you’ve customized, so you can reset a single thing — the font, say — or choose All customizations to start over.

Import customizations copies the look of another tournament onto this one, which saves rebuilding a layout you already like. It brings the whole customization set across, including the screen layout and any content items it depends on.

Adaptive layout

The timer arranges its supplementary elements around the main content based on the space available:

The main content is scaled to fit, so the sizes you set in Screen contents are proportions rather than fixed point sizes — a layout built on a phone still fills a television.
Chips and tables sit below the timer or beside it, whichever way the screen is shaped.
Tables claim more room as more of them are in play — from about a third of the screen at three tables up to about seventy percent at ten.
The QR code panel — the code with its join code printed underneath — drops into whichever corner has room, preferring the bottom right. Only when no corner can fit a scannable code does the layout reserve a strip for it.
