Extract the 7z file (you may need winrar or 7zip) into your skins folder (this should be Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2013/skins).

If you don't have a skins folder, just create it, and make sure the steklo_x3 and steklo_x3fmc folder inside the 7z file is placed directly inside the skins folder, and not a subfolder of it.

If you've got a previous version, go back to the default skin, then delete the old steklo_x3 folders before installing the new version

CUSTOM BACKGROUNDS

Go this post and download the mod.

This may have already been asked but does the separate config file also have to go into the skins folder?

Yes. It stops skins from overriding each others colour settings

Brilliant skin.

Any way I can get rid of the different shade for the substitutes?


The table highlight? Copy the files from graphics\table\custom\lineup\outside squad into graphics\table\custom\lineup\subs

I'll try again!

Where can I change the attribute threshold in a players profile? There sometimes is a panel for that in the "panels" folder. Like "player profile attributes"

I want to change the attributes to this:

1-9 white
10-14 yellow
15-20 red


Don't know off the top of my head, sorry.

Is there any way of making the font larger? I love the skin but like the default one the font is too small. Thanks

Probably, though I've not mucked about with that sort of thing and I'm working on other stuff.

Another minor thing. When you look at Player Search with a Quick Search, the Quick Search name is hidden under the condition selector. Here's what I mean.

Love the look of the skin, a lot easier on the eyes than the default one which is far too bright for me.

However my custom backgrounds don't seem to be working, i have them in the same folder structure as last years game, but i only get the default one

I'm not 100% certain, but I think that might happen with the default skin. I'll have a look and see if it needs fixing

Specific ground/stadium backgrounds don't work in FM13 as yet. Hopefully, SI will sort it out in a fairly early patch, but until then there's nothing I can do.

Is this compatible with Win8?

I've tried everything and it just won't find the skin - the default one is severely hurting my eyes!!!

Have you got 7zip? 7-Zip.org

You'll need it to open the file. I use 7z files as they compress a lot more than zip files do, so it's a smaller download

If you have extracted the 7z file, have you put the contents in the right place? Don't create your skins folder within the graphics folder, it need to be at the same level in the directory structure.

I'm also in W8 and even having followed your instructions to the letter, the game does not always recognize the skin ! And yet, the file is created directly in the root of FM 2013, but not to do anything...

Hi Tom,

I'm having similar problems. I'm on Windows 7 and I cannot for the life of me get FM13 to accept that Steklo is available. I unpacked your 7z file using 7-Zip (kudos btw for using 7Zip!) and move the resulting folder to "C:\Users\Marc\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2013\skins\steklo_x3". Steklo_x3 is the root folder and within it is another folder called "steklo_x3" and a config.xml file. FM13 is set to not use a cache and to reload the skin each time I press confirm on the button. I've quit and re-started FM13; still it will not show the Steklo skin.

What am I doing wrong? It must be something amazingly simple because I've played FM since FM05 and I'm pretty handy with computers.

Cheers,

Marc

in player attributes some values overlap others and the players photo disappears. is this normal?

Click on preferences then interface.

On the interface screen at the top left hand corner you will see another tab called skin colours.

This maybe is what you are looking for

Ok, that's good !

In "Preferences", do reset the defaults. Close and restart the FM behind. If it is like that, you will se the skin.

Yep, it is. You've put the skin into a sub folder of the skins folder. It needs to go direckerly into the skins folder. I.e. skins/steklo_x3 not skins/steklo_x3/steklo_x3

Have you got some other profile mod? There's no way it should look like that

As always the skin is looking good .

However, like a couple of other people have mentioned once loaded my other graphic files such as logos and player pictures have disappeared. I'm sure it will be something simple that I'm missing.

Anyway, great work Tom

Hi Tom,

That worked. FM can now see Steklo. Unfortunately when I selected the skin, I got an error message about a font not being found. All I get now is a black screen where I should see the FM menu. I've deleted the Steklo folder but FM still shows a black screen. I've re-verified the game files and that's not helped. I think the skin is now in the cache so unless I can delete the cache I think I might have to uninstall FM from Steam and re-download it. Do you know if I can delete the FM cache?

//EDIT// Sorted now. I found the cache and re-copied the skin folder from the original 7z file. Looks like I'd manage to put a copy of the steklo skin within the steklo skin, must have confused FM somewhat. :p
