BlackS0ull Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Hello mate. It's an incredible skin, but could you please put back the logos of the teams in header. I want this, because now I have KITS on match screen, so it will be nice that in match screen in header to have logos. Now it looks a little bit strange. Check the screenshot!

SPE3D Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The background logos should show instead and I personally prefer it. Very classy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da_Funk Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I need some info (problem?) regarding background screen. Sometimes I've got the "dark champions league" image and sometimes (when navigating, I mean) I've got a blank grey image. Is it normal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to be really small so they'd avoid clashing with the tabs, so I probably won't be doing that.

You've got background images switched on in your preferences. Until the fix is released by SI, switch them off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply and I understand perfect what are you saying. I will play like this, without the logos, because it looks amazing. Thanks again!

Jibby123 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Always liked your skins CaptainFerret, but wondering if I am doing anything wrong in that I find it difficult to read some of the information on the game screen whilst playing. I can't read the sub's names when I go to the tactics screen during a match as there seems to be a clash of colours against text and background colour..... I have the same problem in looking at the vital stats of any player that pops up in my news screen (bottom right hand corner).... One more question....I have downloaded your skin in to a folder I created called 'skins' in the data file on, but now when I am playing the game I don't have the option to have any other skin other than the Steklo one, i.e. can't get back to the default SI skins when I go on Preferences>Display and Sound. The dropdown menu under the skins only shows your skin. If I were to remove that skin sub-folder in my data, is it likely to screw the game up or just return back to the default skins?? Any help would be much appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biscotti Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I don't get where this idea that SI have "chosen" to make background images broken has come from... SI said in the run up to FM2010 that the default skins would not have backgrounds enabled, but that it would be easy for skinners to turn them on. What we have in the game now is a bug whereby the background images simply doesn't work, through no malicious action by SI, and my guess is it'll be fixed in the next patch. Seriously, if SI were gonna remove it completely, they wouldn't have left the "display background images" checkbox in the preferences menu:thup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've put the folder into the program files tree, then you've done it wrong. Nice one, thanks. The mistake I made was putting it in the program files, went back and read the guide thread and inserted the skin as it said (teach me to read instructions properly next time!! ). I also went back to your mirror in sortioutsi and signed up, re-downloaded it. Deleted the skins folder I'd made in the program files tree and now the text is showing just fine. And can go back to the default skins in the preferences screen again. Thanks for the great skin and help ^^^ there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any clue why? No biggie, but yeah, that happens on mine as well. I have 'player motivation' and 'player ratings' boxes open on TV view in the top left and right hand corners respectively and after half time or after every substitution or tactic change they both move down slightly diagonally towards the centre of the screen. Get closer and closer to the centre each time it happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSH Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Although I love this skin, I simply can't use it because of the widgets changing places after each new instruction or tactic is confirmed. They even move when a new shout is implemented, without even going into the tactics. I will wait with baited breath a fix for this. Great skin all in all, as always, CaptainFerret.

arcaliea Posted November 14, 2009 Share Posted November 14, 2009 Love the skin, but can't use it at the moment since it keeps moving the TV view widgets around. After say a touchline instruction that 're-loads' the tv view, i found my active widgets have moved around (usually from the top of the screen to a centimetre or two downwards and into the screen, as if to fit a smaller resolution). anything I could do to fix it?
