Over the last few weekends i have been sitting around watching the progress of my skins and others in the sports category.

I have noticed that when it comes to sport teams, if a skin is made specifically for a team then it will be downloaded more than a skin containing all of the teams. So i am very happy to announce the following;

Version 2.0:
Planned for release in June 2009* comes Version 2 of my English Premier League pack! Featuring a complete re-design and re-packaging, 2.0 will be completely different to its predecessors! Featuring a completely new design and all new features to the series!

One of the major hurdles i have had to try and figure a way around has definately been thinking of what i am to do about teams that are relegated/promoted from certain divisions to others, often meaning they are no longer in the skin. This is not something i wanted to do, because people will undoudtadly be using one of the teams that get relegated/promoted. I am happy to announce that i have come to a solution that will make everyone happy, or atleast i hope it will whilst also bolstering the amount of skins in the Sports section of the database by a large amount!

Each seperate team will be developed as its own skin, featuring its own design, own images and own features! Each of these seperate skins will then be released to the database as single teams! Making it easier for fans to find the skin of their favourite team! But then for those folks that like everything in one place i will make a "package" containing all of the teams of the league with their own designs but all sharing the same features, so i suppose in a way there stripped down versions of the singles but into one nice little box.

As some people could imagine this is going to be one hell of a task! And is going to take a lot of work, and as i consider the "World of Football" my primary project it may mean that other skins will be moved back-stage for a while whilst i work on these skins. Don't consider this a cancellation notice but a simple it may take a while notice.

As mentioned earlier, i plan to have the first of the new skin packs out sometime in June 2009! This date is very rough though and could change, but i do plan to have as many leagues completed as possible for the start of the next season, which will as mentioned heavily bolster the amount of skins available in sports to folks!

Expect more details towards the end of the month and early June!

Version: 1.0.0d

I am happy to hear that someone else creates a football skin because now there will be more variety and more teams included so everyone can have the skin of his team. Maybe there should be a "Sports" category in the database.

Yeah, it wont just be the typical simple background change either, there will be a few cool appearance changes to messenger as a whole including gradients, logos and star players
