Simply extract the contents into your skins folder, change the skin in game, and then reload FM (you'll only need to do this if the skin you were using has a coloured in sidebar)

New in v1.1! (oooooh!)

The small sidebar version!

It slices, it dices, it peels, it shreads it.. does none of that.

There's a new folder in the 7z file, for those of you that want a small sidebar all the time. But, and this is important, you must have both (that's, BOTH!) skin folders for the small sidebar to work. If you ask why it's not working, and I find out you've only copied the small sidebar version over, I reserve the right to be witheringly sarcastic at you. It's the only way you'll learn.

I've also fixed a couple of bugs, and tweaked the player profile page so you can show player preferred moves, and both the history and biography panels on the rightmost column.

Oh, and I've also added an instant result button. You will have to activate it yourself, mind. Simply follow these steps:

1. Edit steklo_x5/panels/titlebar.xml
2. Go to the bottom of the file, where you'll find the instant match result widget
3. Change the hidn property from true to false.
4. Save, then reload the skin.

I've posted an update, so the download is now v1.1 I would have done it sooner, but I wanted to put the update in the steam workshop too, but that doesn't seem to want to let me update anything.

Hey,

probably a stupid question, but how can you actually edit the xml files (I want the instant result button)? Is there some program that you need to have to do this? Because now when I open a file, it opens in a browser and I can't edit anything there.

Notepad will do the trick.

You've not accidentally extracted the skin folders into a subfolder have you?

i.e.

My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/skins/Steklo_X5/Steklo_X5

rather than:

My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2015/skins/Steklo_X5

Works fine for me on a Mac using this path :

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/9S56oeBMCdXp2fkp3edFxnme5vGiBz5HFkZbkJRM.png
.
When you've downloaded the file, unzip and you should be left with a folder called steklo_x5_v1_1. Open that and you should find 2 folders in there called steklo_x5 & steklo_x5_smallsidebar. Drag and drop both those folders into your skins folder and when the game is loaded you should see them under preferences.

PLEASE could someone help? I've downloaded the skin and extracted to documents/footballmanager2015/skins folder. However, when I go to the drop down to change the skin only the default one appears. I have read somewhere about having to edit the config file but I didn't understand. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Would someone happen to have a copy of the edited config?

Many thanks in advance for your assistance.

Thanks for your reply Deano. I had used that path but it wasn't happening, but I've got it working fine by subscribing to it via the Steam Workshop, nice and easy. This is one of the best skins I've seen so congratulations on it.
One thing; I have downloaded the backgrounds megapack. I can see a bit of the backgrounds where the sidebar is, but the main panels of the screen like where the player profile is or news or squad screen for example aren't transparent like they appear to be on the screenshots so I can't see the majority of the backgrounds, any ideas on how I can change this? Because I've always loved the backgrounds on previous versions of FM, makes each team unique. Cheers

Could you pop a screenshot up, so I can see what the problem is?
Deleted Account #2547
Can see the background just at the side, but the main panels are dark instead of transparent. The same on every screen and also every skin I've tried. Cheers

Hello Tom, I'm using version 1.0 I downloaded the workshop on steam, you will put the 1.1 version there too? Or will further improve the skin to lay the workshop it updated?

Congratulations on this wonderful work! I do not have the habit of using alternative skins, use only the traditional and up the white version of it, the more I'm loving the skin Steklo X5!

That looks like another skin has been merged into it (there's no glass effect in the titlebar either). I'd recommend going back to the default skin, then removing the contents of your skins folder and re-extracting them one at a time to see if it happens again.

Took out all skin files including a config file that was already there and rextracted the Steklo file but it is still the same, really not sure why. But I think you're right about a skin getting mixed up because occasionally you can't see the player or team name in the title bar at the top it's just black. And the backgrounds that are in your graphics folder for the skin like on the screenshots above I don't see on my game, just the black panels and also on the main menu when the game first comes on it is just a black background with the writing on. I only have the Steklo skin in my skins folder though and on preferences I only have the choice between Steklo and Football Manager so I don't know how that could be happening

It´s a beautiful skin!! Can i make it ittle brighter somehow?
Deleted Account #2547
All sorted now. Turns out that all I needed to do was to change the GPU rendering to software. Great skin, makes the game 10x better and cheers for the help!

I have the stadium background pack and up until today I had it working with this skin.
I went into the skin folder and deleted the background images and reloaded the skin and it worked but for some reason I have loaded it up today and for some reason its no longer working and the background files are back in the skin folder even though I havent got the Steam Workshop version and havent updated to 1.1 manually.
This has left me really confused.

Deleting the backgrounds is unnecessary, stadium backgrounds should be visible by default. No idea how they came back, mind.

Awesome skin as always....simply the best for the past few years!
One question though (thanks for the instant result button) but can it be changed so the other match results don't show up behind the match stats?

I put the Steklo X5 folder inside the skins folder so it appears in the game.

I've tried placing the small panels folder in the panels folder but it overrides and doesn't change. I did see that I had to have both panel files there but I can't work out how.

I put both the folders from this skin into my skin folder then selected the small sidebar skin and it worked a treat.
