Inside Look at PokerTracker's Replayer Themes

Attention PokerTracker 4 aficionados!  PokerTracker 4 added two new "official" replayer themes to the PokerTracker Download Warehouse.
 
The Ivey League Official PokerTracker 4 replayer theme was designed by TiltBuster's theming guru "Bar Nuthin" and added in late August to the Download Warehouse.  This theme may look familiar if you are already brushing up on your poker skills on Phil Ivey's poker training site.
 
The new theme features a slick purple background and a black and grey felt.  The theme also utilizes layered cards for replaying Omaha hands.  PokerTracker's Steven McLoughlin recommended on the PokerTracker forum to use a traditional deck theme in order to see the full face of the cards.  McLoughlin pointed out that this is only necessary for Omaha hands and you can use any deck theme for replaying Hold'em hands.
 
In September, CardRunners released the tHEMe its site's trainers have been using.  The tHEMe features a midnight blue background with a forest green felt.  Of course, the CardRunners logo is glaringly present in the center of the table.
 
A custom deck is included in the theme and is recommended since it is optimized with the CardRunners Official replayer theme for PokerTracker 4.
 
While custom themes are useful, can they help you the same way as other features that PokerTracker has released?  I would argue maybe not exactly the same, but it certainly can't hurt.
 
In my opinion, poker players are more likely to want to study hands if they are motivated and have proper study tools.  PokerTracker 4 already gives you great tools and the new themes can potentially help with motivation, considering a player is more likely to study if they are happy with the tools they are using.
 
Even if you don't think that either theme will help you with motivation, they may be an improvement over what you already have.  You don't need to be a member of the Ivey League or CardRunners to enjoy these great looking custom replayer themes.  So, why not download them or one of the 12 total themes available in the PokerTracker Download Warehouse and let us know what you think?
