Lobby Preferences

The Lobby preferences control aspects of the Lobby window.

Minimize Lobby window when watching or playing

When you start playing or watching a match, the Lobby window will be minimized down to the dock to get it out of the way. When the match is finished, or you stop watching, the Board window will be hidden and the Lobby window brought back up from the dock. While you are playing or watching, you can open the Lobby window by clicking its icon on the dock.

Mark yourself "Away" when GridGammon is hidden

When the GridGammon application is hidden (using the standard Mac OS X command File > Hide GridGammon, or Cmd-H), GridGammon will notify the server that you are away. Other players will see your status marked as Away in their Lobby windows. When GridGammon is unhidden, it will automatically mark you back.

Show friends in Ready, Playing, Watching

When checked, your friends will always be listed in the Lobby when you are viewing only Ready, Playing, or Watching players. This option is enabled by default.

Always show friends at top

When checked, your friends (and yourself) always appear at the top of the list of players displayed in the Lobby. This makes it easier to keep track of your GridGammon friends.

Friends and Your color

Click the color boxes to set the color to display the names of your friends and yourself in the Lobby. All other player names will be shown in black text.

Show columns

These check boxes control which columns are shown in the Lobby window. The Nickname and Status columns are always shown, all other columns are optional.
