Admin/muted, yes

It's adjusted a bit, I would hesitate to call it the exact middle, but yes

is that all correct?
Also,
-reduce player names' spacings to fit within a maximum width so that names/icons are less likely to overlap with scores
-use less horizontal space for drawing player numbers when only players 1-9 are present
-introduce an optional parameter to jjPLAYER::iconSet for icons that really need to be drawn to the left of player numbers

but the flag can get hidden behind objects (like inside the trees on Jungle's Edge). so it can be valuable to have the flag symbol still added there.
Ooh, another good point!

Thanks, that makes more sense to me too, but I wasn't sure from the preceding posts.

on by default because the CTF scene mostly wants it how icons for flags in CTF are displayed
No, the default should be whatever gives new players the most intuitive experience. Old players know how to change settings, new players should not be expected to be able to figure that out.

...unless there'd be some way to detect whether a player is updating from a previous version of JJ2+, and give them a different default based on that? hmmmm

- Hiding spectators should with tab. It makes more sense to work that way, because tabbing is primarily to quickly glance at the in-game scores.
I probably agree (if I know what "should with tab" means), but this should be a separate thread. In particular, it's somebody else's code.
