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.

To get stadium pics on the club overview screens, simply put the two xml files in the zipfile into steklo_x3/panels

Excellent work mate definitely the best skin iv used, I really like the transparent tabs in match. Just a few issues though and I don't know if this is something everyone is experiencing but about 5 times now iv been unable to change tactics during match, the options on the top bar grey out and also clicking on team doesn't do anything, I changed back to default skin and the problem doesn't occur. Any suggestions for me because I would really like to continue using your skin but obviously this is quite a big issue and could cost me points. Also any ideas on how to get our preferred attribute colours to stick because every time I load up the game they revert to default colours

Is the tactics problem intermittent, or does it happen every time you try to change tactics?

Usually when i make a tactical change, normally when the changes are pending you cant tweak anything until its done but mine seems to stay that way for the rest of the game.

They might not be present in FM, so they won't appear. Also, some things only work in certain places

Any tactical change, but it has just happened using default skin my apologies it must be a game bug far to many on this years game in my opinion, any idea how to get the skin colours to stay same mine keep changing back.

really lovely skin but the issue with the Continue/Resume Match button not being in the Match screens is an issue - got stuck in half time of a League Cup match extra time scenario - had to get out to the home page and change the skin to the SI default to finish the match.

I'm sorry for moaning as its a fantastic skin otherwise

I made a mistake: when deleting the v 1.0 skin folder, i deleted the config.xml file in root skin folder too.. I have no other skins and all works without problem; however, if is better to keep that file, could anyone upload it somewhere?

Or, still easier, paste the text here so i can create the file?

Thanks in advance

Tom is there anyway of making the processing bar smaller as the news part has bit missing as you can see a little bit of a p[layers head at the bottom of it and you can make out what it is or who it is?

My resolution is 1280 by 800

By the look of your screenshots i think your resolution is even lower?

I resize the window so the screenshots aren't massive (I play at 1920x1080). I'm pretty sure the sizes are the same as the default skin (or very similar). I'll have a look.

suggestion.. move the "background change" button to the right side of the bar, because it is very close to the "back" button... and I'm hitting it unconsciously..

Hi Tom, thanks for the great skin ! One little thing: Would it be possible to add the "instant result" option from the FM Classic version ?

cheers,

Great work tom.

Can you help me find the folder for your skin that has the settings for the player attributes? I've tried to edit them using the in game, skin colour option under prefrences but for some reason they change back to default everytime I reload. I'd like to swap the values of "good" and "excellent" (Orange and Green)

Thanks.

It's not that close, and if I move it over to the right, it's next to the continue button, which is potentially much more annoying than simply going back a screen.
