Why is the texture changed in this skin looking to FM2005.
This was one of the biggest +/+ from this skin. Now it has the same texture as other skins.
Can I change this??? and how?
Think he means the whole 'metallic' feel to it, which means it is more similar to the default skin than last year's version. However it doesn't overly bother me. As a side note, any more skins in the pipeline radestock?
The changes from the original (like the change from blue to grey colour) could not be a avoided for various reasons. I would have liked the design to remain the same too but there you go. I did make it so that the colour could be easily changed though.
I'm sure I'll make a totally new skin for 2006 but I'll need to wait for some good ideas.

With texture I mean Arial, times roman etc. Looks like the one in the 2006 version is like the default text, while the text in the FM2005 was like the one in the E2 skin.
I had to change it to the SI default font so as to be OK with the legal side of things. Obviously if I had used a font that SI didn't have the rights to use there would have been problems. The font has all the various foreign language characters needed too.

Copy the fonts folder from the 2005 skin into the 'data/skins/chameleon2006/' folder. This will give the font. However it will look a bit too big.
You will also need to alter a few text sizes. Open 'chameleon2006.xml', scroll down a bit and find 4 sets of lines like shown below. Replace these 4 sets of lines with the ones below. This will make the size better.
Hope this helps.
