Hi I have played a handful of games on here before and after the new update.

I decided to try and play 2 tournaments together the other day and I nearly had a epileptic fit (seriously) I didnt really notice that much to be honest on 1 table but trying to multi table with all that blue going on after 5 minutes I just shipped it on 1 table not caring If I lost it affected me that much I still couldn't play the 1 table after that.

green chips and blue chips blending in my eyes where battered after 5 minutes trying to focus on what was going on, I'm by no way new to playing more than 1 table elsewhere, its definitly a problem.

you really need less going on and a more freindly skin colour I certainly wont be trying that again anytime soon.

An interesting read on this type of problem is "Shedding Light On Photosensitivity, One Of Epilepsy's Most Complex Conditions" you'll find in the epilepsy's Foundation web site....

you think it doesn't affect you! think again, I can't play sky's new layout cus it almost immediately triggers migraines but I hadn't a problem with the old layout...... so switch to it to play

Some specialist have indicated that combinations of colours can trigger responses an example was blue/blue, blue/grey.. but not the only combinations obviously...

people who have not previously been affect can suddenly be affected due to the change in colours or number of flashes per second, over 3 being a trigger... you get this when the cards are being dealt.... 

certainly you cannot please everyone but the option to change table layout (colours) would help... just a suggestion sky

happy Christmas all....

Yes I agree I can play 4 tables without problems elsewhere. its hard to describe how it felt but my brain just suddenly turned to mush and it was like everything was a blur like a optical trick in the backgrond and trying to play cards at the same time. I just hope it hasn't triggered me prone to future attacks from similar things!!!!
How do you change back to the old skin btw?

haven't played on sky for a while due to a separate issue with them, suggest you ask customer help and see if the option is still available.....

Ok thanks I think I found it, but it still has to much blue and its hard to focus now without keep thinking about it.

hopefully sky will see how big a problem this colour is for people and not just a personal preference and offer a choice in the near future or I'm afraid I may have to look elsewhere

in the item that I suggested people read it says that deep red is a well accepted trigger for responses, I notice sky use that colour for the back of the cards and obviously they are flashing around during the deal.... perhaps someone from sky might take the time to access if worth considering an option to change colour or at least read the item itself.... its in your hands TK.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I too have problems with the sheer amount of blue on the new tables and the need to differentiate between some quite subtle differences in shade. I can do it if I concentrate but only for 30-45 minutes which means I really struggle to play a MTT. I know Sky were looking at different "skins" a few months ago, but i get the horrible feeling that the alternative to 12 Shades Of Blue will be 12 Shades Of Green or 12 Shades of Red...

Yes I have to say there is a problem with the colour, I have only noticed it since I have to withdraw from a medicication im on.I tried another site to make sure but at moment as I playing sky esp multi the colour is making me feel ill whereas another major site no problems.

I know it should be a very easy change for the IT guys to add a colour change background esp I know this is most basic of techonology thats been out for over 10ys on the net.

Sure someone will pick this feedback up and make the changes

Have good holidays all
