1. An option in settings to always start in fullscreen mode
2. A place on the website to download new card backs and avatars

With regards to 2: Avatars and card flipside pictures are just png's. It's pretty easy for anyone with a picture editor to lift a few pictures off the internet and resize them if needed and convert them to png (I did it a few times, it takes about 15 minutes including the search for cool pictures).

It can get legally tricky for the pokerth webmasters if they start to host pictures they don't know the exact origin/copyright/licence of. I doubt they think it's worth the potential legal trouble.

And if they design cool new pictures themselves, I think they'll be willing to provide a link on the front page.

That's exactly right. If there is anybody who like to spend money to pokerth at first i will take a legal advice from lawyer to speak about these points.

Actually, I know a little about this. I'm not quite a lawyer yet, but I can say this with a reasonable degree of certainty: if you take a hands-off approach and let the uploading -> hosting step be done automatically (for example, you don't take pictures sent over e-mail and copy them over to your site yourself), you are, like hosting providers and youtube, not responsible if some content is infringing if you speedily remove it when a person who has rights concerning the picture (he designed/took the picture or he's in it) contacts you with his complaint.

So to be safe: make sure that you don't manually post pictures that people send you, and take 'em down for people who convince you they have rights to the pictures.

Still, I wouldn't go there. You guys are developers, anybody with some hosting space can set up a png gallery with the heading "These pictures are rights-free and sized perfectly to serve as card images and avatars in pokerth" and post a link in this forum.
