Mammoth Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Information: Firstly, credits go to RayW for the inspiration & i effin rule for the superb render. This skin isn't aimed at any particular era or anything like that; I guess what I set out to do was copy the default skin but give it a fresher look, so not all that much has changed to be quite frank. It took me all of 8-9 days to complete, so I hope at least one person finds some joy in using it. Absolutely everything (apart from 3-4 graphics which either shouldn't or can't be changed) has been edited and if anyone wants to transfer the grades or anything else from this skin to another, feel free. How to install? You'd do it as you would with any other mod, except you don't save it in Databases/Pictures, you'd save it in Skins. To install the alternate taskbar (see below), simply download the file and copy it over the existing "Taskbars" file. Click here to see an alternate title screen, including directions on how to change it. If you need any other help, just reply here and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Same applies if you find something that you feel I've missed or something I've done wrong, reply here and I'll fix it A.S.A.P.

(If you haven't played the Football Manager 14 BETA yet, shame on you.) It hasn't got a name and I can't set a release date yet but I'm hoping it'll be no longer than a week; two weeks at the latest. At the moment I'm working off Pixlr (an online (very basic) version of Photoshop) but I'm hoping my Photoshop will come in the post this week and I should be banging them out on a regular basis then. Like my gimmick file (and everything I do) it started out as something I was solely doing for myself, but now RayW's project fell through, I thought I'd share.

Standard Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Really love this skin, did you make the render on the front page yourself? I also really like the black and grey tones. It looks very sleek. I really like the FM14 beta by the way <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />.

Big Mikey Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 This skin looks awesome. Is there anyway you can release a version that has words for the icons at the top instead of the symbols? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mammoth Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 <p>Thanks everyone, I'm glad it's getting such a positive response.

Big Mikey Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Awesome. I don't know what it is, possibly because I'm still fairly new to the game but I always find myself having to hover the icon to see where it's supposed to take me. So just having the words would make things much faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mammoth Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 More screenshots: http://i.imgur.com/OdSLHYF.png http://i.imgur.com/diENL0C.png (It took me a while to align the "On Air"/"Off Air" buttons. -.-) http://i.imgur.com/zpQowmX.png http://i.imgur.com/O5JfbNl.png http://i.imgur.com/0AoHMy3.png http://i.imgur.com/hMIN8wC.png As far as completion goes, I'd say we're just about half way. I've got all but a couple of the buttons done, all the graphics except the numbered ratings (I've done the "Above Average" etcetera and the grades (as seen in an example above) but I'm saving the numbers for last just because there are more of them) and I only have 121 backgrounds (out of 149) left to do... only. xD So yeah, still no exact ETA but I don't think my first prediction will be that far off.

Mammoth Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Okay, I've updated the first post; the skin is now released! Check that post for all the information... @Big Mikey I haven't forgotten about your personal request (for the task bar to be altered) but it may be a day or two before I get to it, simply because I've been working on this non-stop for 8-9 days that I'd like a little bit of a rest, but I will get to it. If anyone has an idea for my next little mod (I don't do full mods, I've tried in the past and utterly failed) I'm all ears, but it can't be another skin.

Mammoth Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Thanks guys, I hope you enjoy. Make a add-on for crayon's Over-9000 verse. DeadCeleb was going to make one, but he didn't for some reason. I've not actually played the Over-9000 verse. I know of it and I've heard marvellous things, but I think it's best to play mods to mod/expand them otherwise they may not blend together all that well. I have been looking for a new mod to play however, so if I get into it, I may give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 And the skin is awesome. This was the one to finally take iDOL's skins away from my TEW. With his new skin coming soon i'll probably change to it, but this skin is simply awesome. Alongside him, you're the best skin maker here in my opinion. Great stuff, bud.
