This is a skin I created for all the football funs. So here it is:

Includes all 32 teams that participated in Champions League this year

Reference to the finals from 1993

It will not be added in the database since I was told that it removes only a few images but well, I think it good for all you football funs. Hope you enjoy it!

Tbh Basilis, I think it should be aloud into the database, there are skins in the database that changes a few images only (SexySkin, 365). Anywaym its a great looking skin, im sure it would do well.

* Eddie loves the screenshot simply because it is a chelsea image, looks sort of ok, wouldn't use it probably but nice effort

It should be definitely allowed.

It looks pretty nice from the screenshots.

yeah, i don't know how tasteless skins like sexyskin get allowed when this one doesn't

Finally, I put a link for download. See the first post

EDIT:
Tried it, There are some things you need to improve.
Contacts Personal message text in the Contact list is hard to read, same with the Online, Mobile and Offline text. "Champions League Finals 1993-2008" button doesn't do anything. The Wordwheel loses its background when Typing in it.

Have you installed plus 4.60? The finals button works fine on my computer

Yuh, 4.60 is installed

I don't understand. It works fine on my computer. Perhaps I should wait for more people to tell me about the same problem and see what is wrong? Could you try taking a look at it? I think you can find the problem.

I found what was wrong.
In the skininfo.xml there is

code:

                <AboutId Language="en-us">AboutWnd</AboutId>
        <AboutId Language="en-us">About</AboutId>

i wouldnt use it (not football fan) but its a hot skin
good job

hello, i'm from portugal a a fan of vitoria sport clube, i wander if one of you could "update" this skin with my club... it was qualified for CL this season(3º place).
I really would like to have a skin with it... waiting for an answer.
Regards

(by the way, i'm sorry if my english is not correct! =)  )

here is the symbol of my clube(  http://www.futebol.pt/include/pic.php?cat=teams&dim=b&pid=1689  ) 
some of the symbols in internet are wrong, the right one is black and white.

Hmmm if Basilis is up for it and I have the time, I wouldn't mind working on this skin with him (even though I suck at skinning at the moment )

that would be great... i know a lot of people that would like to have this skin...

You know. The skin requires specific designed team emblem that I can only find when the qualifying round begins. So, unfortunately, you have to wait until then. But you could try creating a skin for your team on your own. Believe me, it is not too hard if you try.

ok, i'll try! xD
thanks

it's not working in my messenger
