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.

Have the same problem here (as Andrewj73)...with the 1.1 version...


Did you remove the old steklo folder first? It's definitely fixed in v1.1.

Many thanks.

i dont know what I'm doing wrong here... I have downloaded the v1.1 and put it in skins folder. have deleted the steklo 1 folder as well so there is only the config file in the skins folder + the v1.1 folder. when i start up fm13 the new skin doesnt appear in the list in prefs? steklo1 worked fine.

what am i missing??

If you mean background pics, they don't work (yet)

Have you just played FMC or a challenge? The game remembers what you did last and only shows skins for that mode on the start screen

The menubar is supposed to be invisible during the match itself, it is on the default skin. There's a play/pause button you can use instead

No it is a normal full save game. I have now deleted everything out of the skins folder, re-extracted the v1.1 zip and put it in the skins folder. it still doesnt work.....

You've definitely not accidentally put the folder in a subfolder of your skins folder?

The file tree is FM13>skins>steklo x3-1

Nothing else.

What's the -1 bit for? That's what'll be causing the problem, the skin folder name has to match the name of the config file immediately inside.

Once extracted place the folder into C:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2013\skins

if the skins folder is not there just create it yourself.

All graphic types of files will be in documents folder.

If you want to see the Game files then they will be in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2013

Put this over on SI forums as well Tom...wondered if you knew what to select to help us...it's not really about the skin, but the pitch that shows when on classic view during a match...

I usually watch the match on only commentary with just the team stats showing, often clicking around some of the other screens - just played first match and all the time was a static background of the pitch and player dots - no idea which option to select (I tried a few) to remove it so that it just had the plain background (the grey one that you can select with the skin). I have the grey background selected from the cog menu, it's just this flippin pitch background that came up during the match and it spoilt the skin a bit.

I'm going to keep investigating and I'm sure I can get rid of it...just wondered if anyone knew what to select to make it disappear.

not sure if this has been pointed out but at the inbox the up and down arrow seem to not work every so often think it's the skin could be a bug anyone else have this problem?

Tom - thanks for your previous reply - that clears up the background issue, I am trying to make something works that does not!!!

This is a link form elsewhere, I used to have a patch to do the follow effect ( players with club logs merged behind )...

Whereabouts is that? (There's a few places with scorer displays, and I bet they use different values)
