I realize, from other threads, that AS uses a totally different engine from PGS. But maybe this idea could be looked at?

The status-bar display in PGS of number of cards remaining in deck would be even more useful in AS, if it could be added. Often, when scoring moves are becoming few and far apart, you're better off grabbing the time bonus rather than continuing through the deck, and knowing how much deck is left would be a big help in deciding.

It is certainly possible to put the number of cards in the status bar in Action Solitaire. Most Popular Solitaire uses the same game engine as Action Solitaire and we have the number of cards left in the deck in the status bar in Most Popular Solitaire.

As Thomas stated, this is certainly possible. The status bar was deliberately omitted from the initial release as a design decision, but we will consider adding it for a future version.

This is now on the customer 'wish list'. :-) Thanks.

I'd really like the status bar in ActSol, too. Great idea, Mike!
