Finally, we've broken that barrier. Hopefully, now we'll start getting some revisits of the old classics...
Nice work, Ferret, though the green background does tend to interfere with the green text.

Boist: Put it in your Sports Interactive/FM2008/skins folder. That should work...
Or, even better, all new stuff!

A good skin, any cance of a left hand side version?

Yep, the font need emphasising a little, as it can get blurry the higher the res is

Other then that its very good, and i like the vista effect

While I appriciate the opinions of others, I personally don't like my backgrounds so busy. It's even harder to read. Mine is grassy also, but with a finer texture ...

Text colors are easily changed ...

Good job! so far ...

yeah, i'm sorta swaying that way too...

slight issue, during matches i prefer to watch the match stats screen until there's any action, but it stays on the empty pitch when the action is done, instead of going back to the stats screen

this skin is awesome... although I have a couple of thing I think could make it better...

Making al the drop down menus like team talks opaque would make them look a lot clearer,

also, a continue button on all the screens would be good (even though I space bar it would be better for some people)

finally, I think it would be better if the match text was kept on the bottom.... I like the fading effect on it but I also agree with the earlier post, it could be hard to see with some team colours. Maybe making this text a bit bigger would be better also.

Apart from that though I really like the feel of it. Thanks

One thing that bothers me is that the text seems too small... and in some news it got cut at the end. Weird, as that would indicate too large a font.

And I also found a bug: after key situations in 2D, the game won't return to the Overview but instead stays on the Pitch view. And that isn't happening with any other skins (well, the one and a half which are out there. )

No offense, but I think the background is just looking horrible, on all pictures, makes me think of very poorly made paint pictures being totally over colorful, and the text is Very hard to read, when compared to the default skin, only thing positive is coloring on player attributes, but that doesn't really matter since it is so hard to read with backgrounds being over colorful.
But that's just my thoughts, I'm sure some will like and some wont, I like more "professional" looking images without all the fuss.
I also think most users use left sided version of the skins.

I've had a look at some different fonts, and I think I'll be using bitstream vera sans. The text cutting off I have no idea about, it doesn't seem to matter what fint size you use, some news stories won't wrap round properly (I think I've seen it happen on teh default skin, too). I'm trying to find out what's causing the issue on the match screen, but I'm not having much luck.
