petauk Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 take it no one gets that this guy is doing this off his own back and has a life out side of fm and these forums.

Cleon Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Stop the silly posts saying you've lost patience etc. If you've lost patience then fine stay out of the thread. Creating a skin takes time and its not a good time of year right now for most people with families etc because its Christmas so involves going out, seeing friends/family etc. Have some respect and patience. Any more rubbish and I'll hand infractions out. If anyone else posts a silly needless comment please report it and I'll take the required action.

JR866Gunner Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Tom ... I have been around the forums for a number of years now and have always wondered ..why the name Steklo?I have loved your skins by the way ...great work. I have often wondered this actually.

TomDixon77 Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 In case anyone is wondering what's taking so long, I'm trying to get this screen to look right: At the moment it either looks like that (which works, but looks odd) or things end up cut off if I remove the background but and let the header panel autosize itself (it's hard coded to 145 pixels) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomDixon77 Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 It's pretty much the only complicated thing that's left, the rest of it is deciding what the match widget boxes will look like and doing a bit of something for the main menu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomDixon77 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 *checks* nope, it's not released, so the bug has been caught before release, nesspa?

cachirro Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 c'est vrai. My attempt to help was that with that guy focusing on mounting traps to catch the buggers, you could focus on development. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phelix Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 To those having a dig at the time it is taking, Tom doesn't get paid for this and there is a thing called real life which tends to get in the way of video games from time to time. I don't mind the wait, there are 10 more months until FM 15 and this is the most professionally developed skin released each year. Keep it up, and I'd love to test the skin on some high resolutions (2560 x 1440) for you if you'd like? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinxwhitsmith Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Those having a dig at the time being taken for this skin to be released are no worse than those sucking up to him before asking if they can do some testing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crowsus Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I agree its pretty cheeky to moan about a skin not being released when it is a lot of work, free to download and a great addition to the game due to the quality of the talented designers such as Tom, but I would question the logic of creating this WIP post when it was clearly (and understandably) going to be a while before it came out? There is no value in advertising the product prior to release so why not just save the posting for when the skin is ready and all this e-animosity would be avoided...?

Biscotti Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The thread does have value, because there are people (like myself) who enjoy seeing the progress pictures and updates as Tom posts them.

TomDixon77 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'm having one of my lack of motivation periods (not because of people complaining or anything as drama queen as that) I'm just struggling to come up with a concept that is close to what I originally conceived, but will work as a more conventional header. Once I've come up with something (inspiration can strike at any time) I'll post an update. Once I do come up with something, it shouldn't take long to finish, as most of the work is done. I'm sorry it's taken this long, but some of SI's recent changes have made it trickier for me to change the areas I like to change (like the header).

yonko Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 So you have to change the header just so it works during match? That's so unfortunate.....I hope you find a way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomDixon77 Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 By the looks of it, aye. I'm not sure why pausing a match causes a crash, so I'm wary of trying to fix it (or even if it's fixable) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
