[suggestion] 2k - 4k resolution skins

[Lucas78]

Hey,

mine is not really a "request", more of a suggestion for future skins (FM19 and onwards): while I understand that a lot of people play FM on laptops, perhaps while traveling or whatever, I imagine there is also a large part of the playerbase that also play other traditional videogames, and probably purchased a 2k (1440p) or 4k monitor, which are becoming more and more common. I often notice that a lot of custom skins (unlike the official ones) get messed up when zoomed at 125%-150% (almost a necessity at the mentioned resolutions, especially if you're like me,  not 20 yrs old anymore :D) and that's a pity.

So, if any of you who create skins (and I can't thank you enough) have a 2k or 4k monitor, please take into consideration adapting your work for higher resolutions as well. It will be surely appreciated

To skin creators: I'm bumping this after a few months just to propose this suggestion again: like I wrote above, while there is still a consistent percentage of FM players that run the game on laptops and/or older computers,  1440p and 2160p resolution monitors are increasingly available and affordable.

If you work on your skin on similar monitors, please consider creating a native or compatible 2k/4k skin  for us older geezers without having to compromise for a 125%/150% + increase of text size that oftens hides, alter and break the visualization of the custom skin. 

 

Thanks

A big portion of fm players are on laptops that don’t even support 1920x1080, and supporting anything other than your native resolution is a massive pain when creating skins, I don’t think it’s worth all the hassle and work that comes for it when the game has excellent zooming options. 
 

Fwiw, I play at 1440p, and adapted my private version of TCS ‘19 to support it properly and enjoyed the experience a lot less at 100% zoom than 125%.

FM 20 you can adjust the zoom and change the font size  to get it to work on 2K and 4K resolutions. Currently using FM Base skin on 55 inch 4K TV and so far no problems.
