    Looking quite good!

    Edit: Found another bug.

    https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/ttYNMIK8e0I53c4tK1zZMeL3zWDj9O0hqTA4rakK.png

    Text on the scoreboard seems to be a bit too dark?

    Edit2: various font color- issues here and there. Hopefully you'll get them sorted out soon

    Thanks for this skin, I've been using/following this since the first version, and it's already come a long way since. Glad the match panel text colors have been fixed, would've preferred a white background to go with the rest of the skin, but a definite improvement.

    I noticed the color issue with the scoreboard as Edealviiva mentioned, it would also be cool if, in addition to changing the colors, you could change the scoreboard to better complement the rest of the skin (white/minimal). Just a thought, I don't know if it's possible.

    Also, would you be open to making portraits (on player profiles) larger, or adding a stadium picture panel to the club overview screen? I really like what the scorpio skin did with them, but I love the color scheme and the general UI of this one.

    Thanks, keep up the good work!

    Edit: I think less transparency on the match info panels that pop up between highlights, might improve visibility and make it more aesthetically pleasing too.

    Thanks for your kind comment

    I made a new scoreboard, which will be available fot the next version.

    http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2014/11/17/scorebpard.jpg

    Think FLAT

    Adding a stadium picture and playing with portraits and pics are planned, but i have to fix the remaining colour clashes before. About the transparency in between highlights panels, it comes from the original files, made by michael at sigames forum. He'll fix the problem, then i'll add the new panels to the next version. If it's annoying, simply delete the match in between highlights panel.xml file in the /panels folder.

    Awesome! That's looking pretty sexy haha. Glad to know those features are planned, can't wait. While waiting for the new panels, I will keep the transparent ones, they're still better than the default single panel. I'm not seeing a whole lot of color clashes that I can't live with, except for the league table, which I'm sure you're aware of.

    Yea, you're right, it's not that the sidebar turned white, it's turned transparent, so that with the white background of the skin, it looks white. Happens with other skins too now, which is very weird.

    Really love the skin. Couple of issues with text colours, though. 1. League tables in a match (the preview and in the little pop up) the text for the points etc is too dark to read. 2. In a match the player ratings are too dark to see, unless they're not there. Also, there's a slight gap between the date and fm menu bar where a line of colour comes through.

    Keep up the good work, I'll be sure to download the updates.
