Settings and Game Master Usage
Advanced options are available to display up to 10 hands and their titles making the module more useful for a GM to track everyones hands. This is a per user setting.
Display Hand Name
Shows the hand name above each toolbar with the player name and hand name. Useful for GMs but can also be set individually by players.
Better Chat Messages
Includes card image, card name and description (if flipped to it's face else 'Hidden') when a card is played. Shows which pile it came from and went to.
Draw Card Chat Messages
How you want better messages to show card values when drawn
Disable - Disable this type of message
Default - will display however the card is drawn
Always Face Down - Always display as down in chat so other players cannot see what is drawn
Always Face Up - Always display face up
Pass Card Chat Messages
How you want better messages to show card values when played or passed
Disable - Disable this type of message
Default - will display however the card is drawn
Always Face Down - Always display as down in chat so other players cannot see what is drawn

Disable Messages
By Default the toolbar disables the default foundry messages to chat and uses Better Chat Messages.
This can be re-enabled and Better Chat Messages turned off for original behavior.
Face Up Mode
Always displays the card in the toolbar face up and disables right clicking cards to flip. This is more useful for 'token' management when tokens backs are the same as their fronts or flipping doesn't make sense.
Show Player Names in Pile
This module tracks who played which card to the discard pile and can display their names along the top in "Window View". Useful when you need to track who played which cards, or each player needs their own discard pile but you don't want to create one for each player.
Position Selection
Selecting position will change the location for all users.
Three options to positions along the bottom of the screen.
Draggable - The bar can be moved anywhere on the screen using the handles
X Postition and Y Position are now available in settings for manual changing
Display Stack Shortcut
You can select any stack such as the "Discard" pile for a link that hovers above the toolbar for quick access.
Player Selection
Clicking the gear icon '⚙' as the GM allows for player selection. This selection will match what the player has selected (first hand only) or will change based on the GMs hand selection. If the player selects a different hand that will also be reflected. The Title will contain both the players name and the hand name: "Player Name (Hand Name)". Also gives the player color aura around the toolbar.
