Skin choosing request.

grassynoel · 2006-10-09, 13:08

I have a small request that may have been asked for already..

When choosing a skin, could MP not update the UI on every click? The postcard sized preview is enough to judge by and the lag on waiting for the skins to update can be a bit frustrating.

Thanks.

Glenn

That is the way it was before the "live changing" was introduced. The lag could be shorter, but then I don´t change the skin everyday, so I can live with this lag. It is 2-3 seconds on my system.

I agree with Glenn. IMHO the preview is enough to choose whether I want this skin or not. The daley is really annoying. And btw it would still be "live changing" if you wouldn't have to restart MP after choosing the skin...

I agree... you do get the idea, and you don't risk hang-ups due to skin-incompabilities.
