Does anyone else struggle distiguishing between the star ratings on FM? On FM07 i managed to get a utility that made the stars simple and not overlapping so it was easier to distinguish the number of stars. Does anyone know of a similar thing to add to FM08??

Cheers

Anyone?

Ter

We changed the stars in the 8.0.1 patch so that it makes it easier to tell the difference between them

Are they darker the more of them they are now?

Ter

Yeah, the colours change from left to right, as does the transparency

I posted a comment about stars that were hard to understand.

As Ter said since then they changed the way stars look.

It feels nice to know that someone at SI listens to your rant :cool:

Ter

Changing the stars is a pretty easy change to make and one that isn't going to have any knock on effects with the working of the game so it was fairly risk free to do.

Could you explain how do it Ter?

i can't find the png files to replace with the custom ones.

have fun and take care,

The updated stars are included in the 8.0.1 beta patch.

If you want to override the original ones you would have to do it as a new skin with the following files in it
